The selective coupling of alcohols is a fascinating yet challenging approach for upgrading alcohols. Herein, we accomplished the controlled production of β-disubstituted ketones or upgraded secondary alcohols via the Ir-catalyzed cross-coupling of secondary alcohols in excellent yields with broad substrate scopes. This selective control was achieved by using an in-situ generated mono-NHC-Ir or a tris-NHC-Ir
醇的选择性偶联是一种令人着迷但具有挑战性的醇升级方法。在此,我们通过Ir 催化的仲醇交叉偶联,实现了β-二取代酮或升级仲醇的受控生产,具有优异的产率和广泛的底物范围。这种选择性控制是通过分别使用原位生成的单-NHC-Ir或三-NHC-Ir络合物作为催化剂来实现的。机理研究表明,这些双功能催化剂的脱氢和加氢能力之间的微妙平衡对于实现不同的选择性至关重要。三-NHC-Ir络合物有效地促进了醇的脱氢和中间体的氢化,从而产生了所需的升级仲醇。相反,单-NHC-Ir络合物的高脱氢能力促进了形成的仲醇转化回酮。
