Reaction of an (Alkyl)(alkenyl)(alkynyl)iridium(III) Complex with HCl:  Intramolecular C−C Bond Formation from Alkyl, Alkenyl, and Alkynyl Groups Coordinated to “Ir(CO)(PPh3)2”. H/D Exchange between CH3 and DCl

Reaction of the (alkyl)(alkenyl)(alkynyl)iridium(III) complex [Ir(CH3)(CHCHNEt3)(C⋮C(p-C6H4CH3))(CO)(PPh3)2]ClO4 (3) with aqueous HCl initiates an intramolecular coupling reaction between −CH3 and −C⋮C(p-C6H4CH3) groups to give [Ir(C(CH3)CH(p-C6H4CH3)(CHCHNEt3)(Cl)(CO)(PPh3)2]ClO4 (5), which further reacts with aqueous HCl to produce [Ir(CHCHNEt3)(Cl)2(CO)(PPh3)2]ClO4 (6) and cis-CH3CHCH(p-C6H4CH3) (7). Complex 5 yields the C−C coupling product [(p-C6H4CH3)HCC(CH3)CHCHNEt3]ClO4 (8) when it is refluxed in CHCl3. The (alkyl)bis(alkynyl)iridium(III) compound Ir(CH3)(C⋮C(p-C6H4CH3))2(CO)(PPh3)2 (4) reacts with aqueous HCl to give H2CCCH(p-C6H4CH3) (9). Complex 3 reacts with excess DCl to give the d5 isotopomer CD3CDCD(p-C6H4CH3) (7-d5), while the reaction of 4 with DCl gives the d1 isotopomer H2CCCD(p-C6H4CH3) (9-d1). Plausible reaction pathways are discussed for the formation of 7 and 9 and for the H/D exchange to give the isotopomer 7-d5.
