Application
Chloro(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl){5-nitro-2-{1-[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino-kN]ethyl}phenyl-kC}iridium(III), 99% Iridicycle-NO2, serves as a highly effective catalyst with remarkable versatility in promoting reductive amination of carbonyl groups. It exhibits exceptional substrate scope, selectivity, and activity, making it invaluable in synthetic chemistry. Moreover, this catalyst is instrumental in the efficient conversion of levulinic acid into pyrrolidinones, highlighting its multifunctionality and potential for various chemical transformations.
