Popis: P-Stereogenic PNP type pincer iridium complexes PNPtBuMeIrH2Cl (3) and PNPtBuMeIrH3 (4) were synthesized in reasonable yields and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, 31P NMR, HRMS and/or single crystal X-ray diffraction. The ORTEP diagram shows that the coordination geometry around the iridium center of complex 3 is approximately octahedral. The chlorinated iridium complex (3) and/or the trihydride iridium complex (4) were used as catalysts in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones, olefins and quinoline to provide the desired products with up to 17% enantioselectivity.
