Abstract
A water-soluble iridium complex [Cp*Ir(6,6′-(OH)2-2,2′-bpy)(H2O)][OTf]2 was found to be an efficient autotandem catalyst for the synthesis of secondary alcohols via redox isomerization/atmospheric hydrogenation in water. The OH groups in the bpy ligand are a key factor for the activity of the catalyst. Then, the mechanistic experiments and the practical utilization of the catalytic system were presented.
