Di( µ -chloro)tetrakis(cyclooctene)diiridium(I)

Application

Di(µ-chloro)tetrakis(cyclooctene)diiridium(I) serves as a versatile catalyst in various chemical processes. It is employed in isomerization-hydroboration reactions, particularly using nido-carboranyldiphosphine as a stabilizing ligand, facilitating hydrogen peroxide oxidation of hydroxamic acids and their subsequent participation in hetero Diels-Alder cycloaddition reactions. This compound is also invaluable in the immobilization of organic functional groups on solid supports via vinylsilane coupling reactions and plays a crucial role in alkylation and Guerbet reactions. Furthermore, it is useful in allylic amination reactions within a DNA-diene-iridium(I) hybrid system and is instrumental in driving asymmetric hydroamination reactions, showcasing its extensive applicability in complex organic transformations.
