Occurrence and origin of a pronounced directing effect of a hydroxyl group in hydrogenation with [Ir(cod)P-c-Hx3(py)]PF6

[Ir(cod)P-c-Hx3(py)]PF6 has been shown to catalyze hydrogenation of an unsaturated alcohol, terpinen-4-ol, with a ca. 1000:1 preference for hydrogen addition to the face of the substrate bearing the OH group. This effect is due to chelation of the alcohol to the catalyst, as evidenced by the detection (1H NMR, 0°C) of a catalyst-substrate complex related to the proposed intermediate cis, trans-[IrH2(endo-5-norbornen-2-ol)-(PPh3) 2]BF4.
