Application
Chloro(pentamethylcyclopentadienyl){2-{1-[(4-methoxyphenyl)imino-kN]ethyl}naphthyl-kC}iridium(III), 99% Iridicycle-Naphth, serves as a versatile catalyst in a variety of chemical processes. It is particularly effective in the reductive amination of carbonyl groups, demonstrating exceptional substrate scope, selectivity, and activity. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in synthesizing primary amines through transfer hydrogenative reductive amination of ketones. The catalyst also excels in the efficient transfer hydrogenation of N-heterocycles in aqueous environments.
