Dehydrogenation of Secondary Amines to Imines Catalyzed by an Iridium PCP Pincer Complex
The PCP pincer complex, IrH2{C6H3-2,6-(PBut2)2}, catalyzes the transfer dehydrogenation of secondary amines. Dehydrogenation occurs across C-N bonds rather than C-C bonds to give imines that are obtained in good to excellent yields when the reactions are carried out in toluene solution. The regiosel...
