Abstract
Vaska's compound, chlorocarbonylbis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I), can catalyze the decarbonylation of formate esters to alcohols and carbon monoxide. The reaction proceeds at atmospheric pressure and at 160–240 °C, depending on the reaction conditions (i.e., solvent, open vs. closed system).
