Iridium-Catalyzed and pH-Dependent Reductions of Nitroalkenes to Ketones
A highly chemoselective conversion of <i>α,β</i>-disubstituted nitroalkenes to ketones is developed. An acid-compatible iridium catalyst serves as the key to the conversion. At a 2500 <i>S/C</i> ratio, nitroalkenes were readily converted to ketones in up to 72% isolated yield...
