We report iridium catalysts IrCl(eta(5)-Cp*)(kappa(2)-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2C6H4X) (1-Me, X = CH3 and 1-F, X = F) for transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol that operate by a previously unseen metal-ligand cooperative mechanism. Under the reaction conditions, complexes 1 (1-Me and 1-F) derivatize to a series of catalytic intermediates: Ir(eta(5)-Cp*)(kappa(2)-(C5H4N)CHNSO2Ar) (2), IrH(eta(5)-CP*)(kappa(2)-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2Ar) (3), and Ir(eta(5)-CP*)(kappa(3)-(2-pyridyl)CH2NSO2Ar) (4). The structures of 1-Me and 4-Me were established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. A rate-determining, concerted hydrogen transfer step (2 + R2CHOH reversible arrow 3 + R2CO) is suggested by kinetic isotope effects, Eyring parameters (Delta H-not equal = 29.1 (8) kcal mol(-1) and Delta S-not equal = -17(19) eu), proton-hydride fidelity, and DFT calculations. According to DFT, a nine-membered cyclic transition state is stabilized by an alcohol molecule that serves as a proton shuttle. (C) 2020 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
