Developed in the laboratories of our cofounder Prof. Travis Williams, this iridium complex is a potent catalyst for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids and carboxylates (DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.8b00105). It can be used in neat alcohol (DOI: 10.1021/acscatal.5b02732).
The catalyst is effective at loadings as low as 50 mol ppm and provides turnover numbers as high as 16000.
