A new arsenic-based pincer (AsOCOAs) dehydrogenation catalyst has been synthesized, IrHCl{2,6-C6H3-(O-AsBu2t)} (3). Treatment with an equivalent of base (NaO-tert-butoxide) under an atmosphere of hydrogen gas affords the dihydride catalyst IrH2{2,6-C(6)H3-(O-AsBu2t)} (4). The activity of 3 was explored under transfer dehydrogenation conditions with cyclooctane and tert-butyl ethylene, giving a maximum turnover number of 960 at 175 degrees C in 24 h. Acceptorless dehydrogenations were also explored with pyrrolidine-based molecules, ethylperhydrocarbazole (5), methylperhydroindole (6), and butylpyrrolidine (7), in which all results indicate 3 is roughly half as active as the analogous phosphine-based pincer catalyst 2. Akin to the phosphine pincer catalysts the activity was seen to steadily improve with increasing temperature, peaking at 175 degrees C, upon which thermal decomposition sets in.
