Abstract Remarkably simple Ir III catalysts enable the isomerization of primary and sec ‐allylic alcohols under very mild reaction conditions. X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and mass spectrometry (MS) studies indicate that the catalysts, with the general formula [Cp*Ir III ], require a halide ligand for catalytic activity, but no additives or additional ligands are needed.
