Dual-reagent catalysis within Ir-Sn domain: highly selective alkylation of arenes and heteroarenes with aromatic aldehydes.
Reactions of arenes and heteroarenes with aromatic aldehydes proceeded smoothly in the presence of a catalytic combination of [Ir(COD)Cl]2-SnCl4 to afford the corresponding triarylmethane derivatives (TRAMs) in high yields. This 100% TRAM selective transformation is clean and eliminates the use of acid systems.
