The reactions of alkoxyiridium complexes trans-ROIr(CO)(PPh3)2 (R = Me, Ph, t-Bu, i-Pr) with organic substrates R′X (R′ = Me, CH3C(O), C6H5C(O), C6H5CH2C(O), HC(O); X = Cl, I, H)

Reactions of RX (RX = MeI, CH3C(O)Cl, C6H5C(O)Cl, and C6H5CH2C(O)Cl) with trans-MeOIr(CO)(PPh3)2 have been examined. In each case, an adduct is formed, RIr(OMe)(CO)(PPh3)2X, which is stable for R = Me. For the acid chlorides, this adduct eliminates ester, forming Ir(CO)(PPh3)2Cl. Thus the carbon-oxygen bond leading to ester products is formed more readily than the carbon-oxygen bond leading to dimethyl ether.
