The new structure derives formally from two oxidative events. One is dehydrogenative in nature (loss of 2H), and the other consists of the insertion of an oxygen atom into a nonactivated benzylic C–C bond. The reaction has been extended to a related iridacycle that contains a pyrazole coligand instead of the pyridylidene.application/pdfengAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttps://doi.org/10.1021/om300890d
