Iridium Catalyzed Chemoselective Alkylation of 2'-Aminoacetophenone with Primary Benzyl Type Alcohols under Microwave Conditions. — The direction of the iridium-catalyzed alkylation of 2'-aminoacetophenone (I) with benzyl alcohols (II) depends on the reaction conditions leading either to C-alkylated products (III) or to N-alkylated derivatives (IV). — (BHAT, S.; SRIDHARAN*, V.; Chem.
