Description

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Ethanol was efficiently converted to ethyl and methyl acetates by [Cp*IrCl2]2 combined with 2-(methylamino)ethanol and a base like Cs2CO3 at room temperature in acetone in high yield, which provides the first Ir-catalyzed direct route to ethyl and methyl acetates from ethanol.</jats:p>
