Application

The purpose of Di-(µ-methoxy)bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) is to serve as a catalyst in various complex chemical transformations. It is instrumental in the formation of heteroaryl fused indole ring systems, which are relevant for inhibiting HCV NS5B polymerase. Additionally, it plays a key role in borylation and the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling process. This compound is also employed in tetraborylation reactions and facilitates the ortho-silylation of aryl ketone, benzaldehyde, and benzyl alcohol derivatives through C-H activation. One of its most significant applications is in asymmetric hydroboration, which requires high regio- and enantioselectivity. Furthermore, Di-(µ-methoxy)bis(1,5-cyclooctadiene)diiridium(I) is an effective catalyst for the conversion of arenes to phenols via C-H activation.
