Synthesis, Structure, and Reactivity of Iridacyclohexadienone and Iridaphenol Complexes1

摘要

In contrast, treatment of iridacyclohexadienones 4 and 6 with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid leads to protonation of oxygen and production of the corresponding "iridaphenols" 8 and 10. When 4 is treated with trifluoroacetic acid, an iridaphenol product is again generated (compound 9), but in this case the phenol proton forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the carbonyl oxygen of the trifluoroacetate ligand.
