DI-MU-METHOXOBIS(1,5-CYCLOOCTADIENE)DIIRIDIUM(I), also known as methoxy(cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) dimer, is used as a catalyst in the preparation of heteroaryl fused indole ring systems as inhibition of HCV NS5B polymerase and borylation and Suzuki-miyaura coupling. Further, it is used in tetraborylation reactions, ortho-silylation of aryl ketone, benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol derivatives through C-H activation. The most useful application is highly regio and enantio selection asymmetric hydroboration. It is a powerful C-H activation catalyst to prepare phenols from arenes. It is also the catalyst of ortho-silylation of aryl ketone, benzaldehyde, and benzyl alcohol derivatives via C-H activation.
