Unprecedented construction of C═C double bonds via Ir-catalyzed dehydrogenative and dehydrative cross-couplings

Abstract

Unprecedented constructions of C═C double bonds have been achieved by Ir-catalyzed intramolecular dehydrogenative and dehydrative cross-coupling of tertiary amines and ketones. The reactions are proposed to proceed via an Ir-mediated C-H activation mechanism.
