Ir‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylic Substitutions with (Phosphoramidite)Ir Complexes—Resting States, Synthesis, and Characterization of Catalytically Active (π‐Allyl)Ir Complexes

Abstract

(π-Allyl)Ir complexes: A new and very simple one-pot synthesis of (π-allyl)Ir complexes derived from phosphoramidites L is presented (see scheme). Ready availability of the allyl complexes allowed resting states and other parameters of the Ir-catalyzed allylic substitution to be determined.
