An iridium-catalyzed, highly efficient, and site-selective deoxygenation of primary, secondary, and tertiary alcohols has been realized, under the assistance of a 4-(N-substituted amino)aryl directing group. Only the hydroxyl adjacent to the directing group can be deoxygenated. The deoxygenation is performed in water, with formic acid as both the promoter and hydride donor. Excellent yields and functionality tolerance, as well as high efficiency (S/C up to 1000 000, TOF up to 445 000 h-1), are obtained. The kinetic isotope effect studies show that hydride formation is the rate-determining step, and the deoxygenation follows an SN1-type pathway. The deoxygenation protocol has been demonstrated useful in the structural modification of naturally occurring ketones and steroids.

The ratio of O- and C-methylated products in the reaction of the sodium salts of acetophenones 1, propiophenones 3, phenylacetones 5, β-dicarbonyl compounds 12, α-cyanocarbonyl compounds 13, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, and diethylketone with dimethyl sulfate, methyl iodide, and trimethyl phosphate in HMPTA has been determined with regard to the effect of substituents.In some cases the influence of solvents, concentration and temperature has also been studied.
