Methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) dimer, 58%

Methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) Dimer – 1 g, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Air-, Light-, and Moisture-Sensitive Catalyst for Advanced Organometallic Reactions

Methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) dimer is a highly specialized organometallic catalyst used in C–H activation, borylation, and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions. With a molecular formula of C₁₈H₃₀Ir₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 662.87 g/mol, this yellow powder supports regioselective and enantioselective hydroboration, making it ideal for heteroaryl fused indole synthesis and functional group transformations.

This compound is air-, light-, and moisture-sensitive, and should be handled under inert conditions. It was originally part of the Alfa Aesar portfolio and now distributed under the Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand, retaining its legacy SKU and documentation references.
