title: Iridium(I) hydroxides in catalysis: rearrangement of allylic alcohols to ketones.
abstract: The iridium(I) hydroxide complex [Ir(OH)(COD)(I(i)Pr)] has been shown to be a competent catalyst for the rearrangement of allylic alcohols to ketones. Reactions proceed in short reaction times (1-1.5 h) with microwave heating, in the absence of additives.
