ChemInform Abstract: Merger of Visible Light Induced Oxidation and Enantioselective Alkylation with a Chiral Iridium Catalyst.

Abstract

AbstractChiral octahedral iridium(III) complex IBH having Δ‐configuration gives α‐diarylaminomethylated imidazolyl benzyl/alkyl ketones (III), (V) and (VII) in high yields with excellent enantioselectivities by photochemical reaction of corresponding imidazolyl derivatives with N,N‐diarylaminomethyltrimethylsilane (II).
