Mechanistic versatility at Ir(PSiP) pincer catalysts: triflate proton shuttling from 2-Butyne to Diene and [3]Dendralene motifs

The five-coordinate hydrido complex [IrH(OTf)(PSiP)] (1) catalytically transforms 2-butyne into a mixture of its isomer 1,3-butadiene, and [3]dendralene and linear hexatriene dimerization products: (E)-4-methyl-3-methylene-1,4-hexadiene and (3Z)-3,4-dimethyl-1,3,5-hexatriene, respectively. Under the...
