  • 1. Ege Univ, Chem Dept, TR-35100 Izmir, Turkey

Description

A new method for converting terminal epoxides and primary alcohols into alpha-alkylated ketones under borrowing hydrogen conditions is reported. The procedure involves a one-pot epoxide ring opening and alkylation via primary alcohols in the presence of an N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(I) catalyst, under aerobic conditions, with water as the side product.
