improved generation of chiral cationic iridium catalysts for the asymmetricisomerization of primaryallylicalcohols is disclosed. The design of these air‐stable complexes relied on the preliminary mechanistic information available, and on Charton analyses using two preceding generations of iridium catalysts developed for this highly challenging transformation. Sterically unbiased chiral aldehydes
isomerization of primary allylic alcohols to chiral aldehydes using iridium‐catalysts bearing P,N‐MaxPHOX ligands has been studied. These catalysts can be fine‐tuned as they present three different stereogenic centers to modulate both the reactivity and enantioselectivity of a family of different substrates. The experimental part is supported by a DFT study of the reaction mechanism, which provides new
