Abstract
Reactions of RX (RX = Mel, CH3C(0)CI, CeH5C(0)CI, and CeH5CH2C(0)CI) with trans -MeOIr(CO)-(PPh3)2have been examined. In each case, an adduct is formed, RIr(OMeXCOXPPh3)2X, which is stable for R = Me. For the acid chlorides, this adduct eliminates ester, forming Ir(COXPPh3)2CI. Thus the carbon-oxygen bond leading to ester products is formed more readily than the carbon-oxygen bond leading to dimethyl ether.
