Abstract

The mechanism of Ir-catalyzed γ-functionalization of a primary sp3(C–H) bond in 2-methyl cyclohexanol is examined using the density functional theory (M06). The nature of the active catalyst for the initial silylation of alcohol is identified as the monomer derived from [Ir(cod)OMe]2 while that for γ-sp3(C–H) activation leading to oxasilolane is [IrH(nbe)(phen)]. The rate-determining step is found to involve Si–C coupling through reductive elimination.
