Cross β-alkylation of primary alcohols catalysed by DMF-stabilized iridium nanoparticles

摘要

A simple method for the cross p-alkylation of linear alcohols with benzyl alcohols in the presence of DMF-stabilized iridium nano-particles was developed. The nanoparticles were prepared in one-step and thoroughly characterized. Furthermore, the optimum reaction conditions have a wide substrate scope and excellent product selectivity.
