The synthesis, characterization, and catalytic performance of iridium(III) catalysts that bear an amide-pendant cyclopentadienyl ligand ([Cp IrI ] ) is reported. These [Cp IrI ] catalysts were obtained from the complexation of a Cp ligand precursor with [Ir(cod)OAc] followed by oxidation. Double aromatic homologation reactions of benzamides with alkynes by fourfold C-H activation proceeded in good to high yield with these [Cp IrI ] catalysts, demonstrating their superior catalytic performance in this challenging transformation.
