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

The Methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) Dimer is a versatile catalyst widely used in advanced chemical synthesis. It is particularly effective in the preparation of heteroaryl fused indole ring systems, borylation, and Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. This compound also facilitates tetraborylation reactions, ortho-silylation of aryl ketones, benzaldehyde, and benzyl alcohol derivatives through C-H activation. Its most notable application is in highly regio- and enantioselective asymmetric hydroboration.
