a Iridation of aryl aldehydes with [Cp*IrCl2]2. b Scope of aryl aldehydes. Reaction conditions: Aldehyde 1 (0.40 mmol), [Cp*IrCl2]2 (0.05 mmol) and NaOAc (1.0 mmol) in DCE (1.0 mL) under N2 at 80 °C for 24 h. Isolated yields are given. c X-ray structures of selected aryl Cp*Ir(III)(CO)Cl complexes. Cp* pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, Me methyl, tBu tert-butyl, DCE 1,2-dichloroethane.
