9 When (E)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-one
(2) was used as a hydrogen acceptor, 3-methylpentan-2-one
was formed. This result shows that the olefinic moiety of 2 was reduced.
10 Investigation of hydrogen acceptors
in dehydrogenation of alcohol 1a {hydrogen
acceptor: 1.5 equiv; [Cp*IrCl2]2:
0.50 mol%; K2CO3: 5.0 mol%;
toluene, 150 ˚C; 18 h}: (E)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-one >99%;
(1E,4E)-1,5-diphenyl-1,4-pentadien-3-one >99%;
3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone 92%; (E)-4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one
92%; 1-penten-3-one 82%;
p-benzoquinone
78%; 2-cyclohexenone 57%; 2-cyclo-pentenone 52%;
3-ethoxy-2-cyclohexenone 8%.
11 First, we conducted the reactions
between benzyl alcohol (1a), (E)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-one (2), 1-methyl-2-phenyl-1H-imidazole
(3a), and HSiEt3 in the presence
of catalytic amounts of an iridium complex, [Cp*IrCl2]2,
K2CO3, and a manganese complex, MnBr(CO)5,
in toluene. However, the desired reaction did not proceed at all.
Therefore, we carried out the coupling reactions in two steps.
12 3-Methyl-2-pentanone, which is formed
by hydrogenation of (E)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-one
(2), was observed by ¹H NMR
and GCMS.

General Procedure
of Formal Cross-Coupling Reaction
A mixture of alcohol
(1, 0.500 mmol), (E)-3-methyl-3-penten-2-one
(2, 73.6 mg 0.750 mmol), [Cp*IrCl2]2 (2.0
mg, 0.0025 mmol), K2CO3 (3.5 mg, 0.025 mmol),
and toluene (1.0 mL) was heated at 150 ˚C for
18 h. Then, imidazole
(3, 0.250
mmol), HSiEt3 (58.1 mg, 0.500 mmol), and MnBr(CO)5 (3.4
mg, 0.013 mmol) were added, and the mixture was stirred at 115 ˚C
for 24 h. The product was isolated by column chromatography on silica
gel [hexane-EtOAc = 5:1.
Before column chromatography, the silica
gel was treated
with Et3N {5% solution in hexane-EtOAc
(5/1)}.] to
give 4.
