Abstract: Lewis base directed α,α-dehydrogenation of 2-(methoxymethyl)aniline gives a cationic iridium(III) alkoxycarbene. This alkoxycarbene is found to be subject to pyridine-promoted C–O bond cleavage in the formation of a delocalized iridium benzylidene. X-ray diffraction and DFT… read more here.
