• iridium catalysis was achieved by Shi [61] in 2010 through an unusual meta-selectivity for the first time (Scheme 11a). To achieve meta-selectivity, the group has screened various transition metals and revealed that a silyl-iridium complex promoted the addition of meta-pyridyl C–H bonds to aldehydes 50

• experiment has been carried out under iridium catalysis. As such, we set out to explore the possibility acyl migration is favored over hydride migration in iridium-catalyzed hydroacylation reactions (Figure 2). Beginning with the two exo-η2-coordinated intermediates IN1a and IN1b, two possible transition

• borylations [41][42], heteroarylations [43], and thioesterifications [44]. Additionally, several methods using photoredox chemistry were also published. For instance, the alkylation of isoquinolines under iridium catalysis and alkynylation with eosin Y as the catalyst [45][46]. In this contribution, we

Another option for the formation of the 1H-pyridine 5a was envisioned by an in situ generation of a dimer of ethyl cyanoacetate (4). The dimer 7 can be synthesized by iridium catalysis [30]. With

Based on our interest in photochemically induced addition reactions of α-aminoalkyl radicals [46][47], the potential of iridium catalysis attracted our interest and we wondered whether it would be possible to apply the title compound, N-methyl-N-((trimethylsilyl)methyl)aniline (5), in addition
