Abstract
An iridium complex catalyzes an environmentally friendly, efficient, and facile one-pot transfer hydrogenation of C=C bond of enones and reductive amination of C=N bond of imines in the presence of formic acid as hydrogen source in aqueous medium. This reaction provides a wide range of α-alkylated amines in excellent yield.
