Abstract

Iridium complexes have been studied as models for intermediates in catalytic reactions. For example, the oxidative addition reaction of [IrCI (CO)(PPh,), J is well known."] Since Crabtree reported that a cationic iridium complex is a highly active catalyst for hydrogenation of alkenes,''] iridium complexes have received much attention as potential hydrogenation catalysts. Recently an iridium complex catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation was reported. ...
