title: Regioselective functionalization of alkanes by sequential dehydrogenation-hydrozirconation.
abstract: We have succeeded in formal regioselective functionalization of alkanes by iridium-catalyzed dehydrogenation, hydrozirconation of the resulting alkenes, and electrophilic reaction of the generated alkylzirconium intermediate.
