The new air-stable and moisture-insensitive Ir catalysts for efficient transfer hydrogenation of ketones contain a chelating bis(N-heterocyclic carbene) ligand. Most other hydrogen transfer catalysts show activity Rh > Ir, but we find Ir > Rh for these cases. Tuning of the ligand wingtip substituents, R, can greatly increase catalyst activity (R = neopentyl) or selectivity (R = isopropyl). Reactivity studies and isotopic labeling are consistent with a monohydride mechanism for the hydrogen transfer.
