1.1.4 Iridium/Zinc and Iridium/Copper Dual Catalysis

Abstract

Synergistic bimetallic catalysis is gaining increasing attention due to its advantages over traditional catalytic methodologies. These advantages include double activation, accurate control of reaction sites, double stereochemical control, and potential in stereodivergent synthesis. This review documents advances in the field and provides an up-to-date overview of recent developments in the use of iridium/zinc and iridium/copper catalyst systems.
