Reaction Steps

By the procedure with [(COD)IrCl]2 (6.7 mg, 0.010 mmol) and L1 (Sa,Sc,Sc) (10.8 mg, 0.020 mmol) the reaction of aniline (130 mg, 1.40 mmol) and methyl cinnamyl carbonate (188 mg, 0.980 mmol) was conducted at room temperature for 24 h. 1H NMR and GC analysis of the crude reaction mixture showed that the conversion of the reaction was less than 1%.
