title: Addition of the ortho-C-H bonds of phenol across an olefin catalysed by a chiral iridium(I) diphosphine complex.
abstract: A chiral iridium(I) diphosphine complex efficiently catalyses the unprecedented ortho-alkylation of phenol with norbornene in the absence of solvent leading to the formation of one and two C-C bonds.
