Strategic application and transformation of ortho-disubstituted phenyl and cyclopropyl ketones to expand the scope of hydrogen borrowing catalysis.
The application of an iridium-catalyzed hydrogen borrowing process to enable the formation of α-branched ketones with higher alcohols is described. In order to facilitate this reaction, ortho-disubstituted phenyl and cyclopropyl ketones were recognized as crucial structural motifs for C-C bond forma...
