title: A new method for the conversion of allyl alcohol into pi-allyl species promoted by nucleophilic interaction with a CO ligand.
abstract: Upon treatment with an iridium carbonyl complex, [(PN)Ir(CO)2]+, allyl alcohol can be smoothly converted into pi-allyliridium species at ambient temperature via nucleophilic interaction of the alcohol with a CO ligand followed by C(allyl)-O bond cleavage in the resultant protonated allyloxycarbonyl intermediate.
