HYDRIDOCARBONYLTRIS(TRIPHENYLPHOSPHINE)IRIDIUM (I)

Reaction

1. Catalyst for ring-opening isomerization of unsymmetrically substituted methylenecyclopropanes into 1,3-dienes
2. Catalyst for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones under base-free conditions
3. Catalyst for C-F bond activation for the C-S cross-coupling of aryl fluorides with diaryl disulfides to synthesize thioethers.
