Iridium-Catalyzed Highly Selective 1,4-Reduction of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds

In this study, an iridium-catalyzed selective 1,4-reduction of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds is realized, with water as a solvent and formic acid as a hydride donor. The new efficient iridium catalyst features a 2-(4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl)quinoline ligand. The chemoselectivity and catalyst eff...
