Article Description

Dehydrogenation of alcohols by three iridium pincer complexes, IrH(Cl)[2,6-(BuPO)CH ] (1), {IrH(acetone)[2,6-(BuPO) CH]}{BF} (2), and IrH(Cl)[{2,5-(BuPCH)C H}Ru(CH)] (3), is reported, in both the presence and the absence of a sacrificial hydrogen acceptor. Dehydrogenation of secondary alcohols proceeds in a catalytic mode with turnover numbers up to 3420 (85% conversion) for acceptorless dehydrogenation of 1-phenylethanol. Primary alcohols are readily decarbonylated even at room temperature to give catalytically inactive 16e Ir-CO adducts. The mechanism of this transformation was studied in detail, especially for EtOH; new intermediates were isolated and characterized. © 2013 American Chemical Society.
