Application
Chlorobis(cyclooctene)iridium(I) Dimer serves as a versatile catalyst with a range of applications in organic synthesis. It facilitates isomerization-hydroboration reactions when combined with nido-carboranyldiphosphine as a stabilizing ligand. Additionally, it plays a crucial role in the hydrogen peroxide oxidation of hydroxamic acids, leading to subsequent hetero Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions. This compound is also employed in the immobilization of organic functional groups onto solid supports via vinylsilane coupling reactions. Its catalytic properties are further utilized in alkylation reactions, the Guerbet reaction, and allylic amination reactions, particularly within DNA-diene-iridium(I) hybrid systems. Moreover, it is an effective catalyst for asymmetric hydroamination reactions, making it an invaluable tool in modern synthetic chemistry.
