Graphical Abstract

Effizient und enantioselektiv: Mit dem dimeren, iodverbrückten Iridiumkomplex [{Ir(H)[(S,S)-(f)-binaphan]}2(μ-I)3]+I (1) konnte eine Vielzahl an Tetrahydroisochinolin-Alkaloiden, darunter auch die Teilstruktur des Wirkstoffs Solifenacin, mit ausgezeichneter Enantioselektivität und hoher Umsatzzahl hergestellt werden (siehe Schema).
