In recent years, much attention has been focused on the catalytic activity of iridium complexes bearing a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) as a supporting ligand. We and other several groups have revealed the catalytic activity of Cp* iridium complexes toward hydrogen transfer reactions. In this article, these new catalytic hydrogen transfer reactions are surveyed.
