A final tweak: A new phosphoramidite iridium catalyst (see scheme) allows allylic substitutions to be run with a higher degree of regioselectivity than with other iridium catalysts and under aerobic conditions. Mechanistic aspects, in particular, the reversibility of the catalyst formation by C-H activation, are also presented. LL=dibenzocyclooctatetraene.
