Iridium solutes effect C-H bond activation and C-C bond forming reactions of C6H6-MeOCH2CH2OMe solvent mixtures.
The in situ generated [Tp(Me2)Ir(C(6)H(5))(2)] fragment induces both aromatic and aliphatic C-H bond activation reactions, along with C-C bond formation, when heated with benzene and 1,2-dimethoxyethane.
