This article describes several hydrogen transfer oxidation by an iridium amide catalyst. Oxidative lactonization, oxidative dimerization, and Oppenauer type-oxidation proceed by a novel iridium aminoalkoxide complex in ketonic solvent. Asymmetric oxidative lactonization and oxidative desymmetrization developed in this study were found to be useful for bioactive compound synthesis.
