Abstract
The C−H activation of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) mediated by pincer iridium complexes derived from PNP and PCP frameworks has been studied. Double C−H activation of MTBE by these complexes leads to formation of Ir(I) Fischer carbenes of the type (pincer)Ir═C(H)OtBu via elimination of H_2. In one case, the structure of the Fischer carbene has been confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis. For both systems, the carbenes are obtained as kinetic products, and prolonged thermolysis leads to the formation of thermodynamically stable trans-(pincer)Ir(H)_2(CO) complexes. A mechanism for this transformation is presented along with reactivity studies supporting the proposal.
