Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Nitrogen Heterocycles with a Versatile Iridium Catalyst1. Issue 27 (17th May 2013) - Wu, Jianjun
Abstract Gas up: A cyclometalated iridium complex is found to catalyze the dehydrogenation of various benzofused N‐heterocycles, thus releasing H2. Driven by as low as 0.1 mol % catalyst, the reaction affords quinolines, indoles, quinoxalines, isoquinolines, and β‐carbolines in high yields.
