(PCP)IrH2 [PCP = η3-C6H3(PBut2) 2-1,3] catalyzes the efficient (several hundred mol product/mol catalyst) dehydrogenation of alkanes under reflux to give the corresponding alkenes and dihydrogen.

Iridium complexes of CCC-pincer bis-N-heterocyclic carbenes, including a newly synthesized trifluoromethyl-substituted complex, were examined as catalysts for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of cyclooctane and n-undecane. Up to 103 turnovers were observed for the dehydrogenation of cyclooctane, and up to 97 turnovers were observed for the dehydrogenation of n-undecane. The catalysts showed high initial turnover frequencies, followed by a gradual loss of activity over 24 h. Experiments indicate that this loss of activity is due to catalyst decomposition rather than product inhibition. Stoichiometric reactivity was investigated for the precatalysts, focusing on the synthesis of dihydride and trihydride complexes as well as the dissociation and addition of neutral ligands.
Stereoselective synthesis of vicinal dilithioalkenes by addition of lithium metal, to carbon-carbon triple bonds

The reaction of various cyclic and acyclic alkynes with lithium dust (2% sodium) to form vicinal dilithioalkenes has been investigated. Aliphatic alkynes, e.g. 3-hexyne (27a), exclusively afford the corresponding (E)-dilithioalkenes, insoluble solids which are stable at room temperature and allow access to a variety of tetrasubstituted olefins in acceptable yields.
