Cat. at rest : [{IrCp*Cl 2 } 2 ] readily catalyzes the redox cyclization of nitron alkynes (e.g., 1 ) to give azomethine ylides that can then react with electrophiles and π bonds. The unusual O‐bound azomethine complex 2 was isolated and identified as the resting state of the catalyst in the azomethine ylide formation. Cp*=C 5 Me 5 .
