Abstract

The chiral iridium compounds [IrCl(COE){(S)-PN}] {COE = cyclooctene, PN = (4S)-2-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl)phenyl]-4-isopropyl-1,3-oxazoline, (1)}, [Ir(acac)ClH{(S)-PN}] {Hacac = acetylacetone, (2)} and [Ir{(S)-PN}2]A {A = Cl (3a,b); BF4 (4a,b); PF6 (5a,b)} have been prepared, characterised and employed as catalysts for the asymmetric Michael addition of keto or cyano esters to α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds. The X-ray molecular structures of compounds 2 and 5b are reported. The model catalytic intermediates [IrH(NCCHCO2R){(S)-PN}2]Cl {R = Me (12), Et (13)} have also been isolated and characterised.
