Hydrosilane-Free Access to Iridium-NNSi Catalysts via Activation of Unstrained Si–C Bonds for C(sp3)–H Borylation

Abstract Hydrosilane-free access to iridium–silyl species is achieved via cleavage of unstrained Si–C bonds within pyridyl-based ligand scaffolds. Treatment of (triorganosilyl)methyl-substituted 2,2′-bipyridine and 1,10-phenanthroline ligands with a tris(boryl)iridium complex ind...
