Diastereoselective formation of chiral iridium hydrides containing the chiral P,N-chelate ligand (4S)-2-(2-(diphenylphosphino)phenyl)-4-isopropyl-1,3-oxazoline.
The iridium complex [Ir(mu-Cl)(PN)(PPh3)]2 (1) reacts with H2 affording only the kinetic isomer OC-6-55-C of the dihydride [IrClH2(PN)(PPh3)] (2) and with methanol yielding, also exclusively, the thermodynamic isomer OC-6-53-C (2b) of the same dihydride; complex 2b has been characterised by X-ray diffractometric methods.
