The catalytic C(sp(3))-H deuteration of tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) with excess benzene-d(6) at 60 degrees C was achieved using the iridium catalyst precursor Ir(kappa Si-2,Si-xantsil)(H)(2)(PCy3)Cl (1), in the presence of (Me3Al)(2)center dot DABCO (xantsil = (9,9-dimethylxanthene-4,5-diyl)bis(dimethylsily1), DABCO = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane). In this reaction, the 3,5-equatorial and 4-axial C-Hs of PCy3 were selectively deuterated, chiefly affording P(Cy-d(3))(3). To gain insight into the reaction mechanism, iridium complexes bearing an asymmetric and bulkier bis(silyl)-xanthene chelate ligand with SiMe2 and Si(p-Tol)(2) coordinating moieties, namely, Ir(kappa Si-2,Si-xantSi(Me)si(p-Tol))(H)(2) (L)Cl (L = pyridine (2-py) or PCy3 (2-PCy)), were synthesized, and similar reactions using them were examined under stoichiometric and catalytic conditions. The stoichiometric reaction of 2-py with (Me3Al2)center dot DABCO at 60 degrees C resulted in dehydrochlorination to give the dinuclear complex [Ir(mu-kappa Si-1:eta(6),kappa Si-1-xantSi(Me)Si(p-Tol))(H)](2) (3). On the other hand, the analogous reaction of 2-PCy in benzene at 60 degrees C afforded the thermally unstable Ir(xantSi(Me)Si(p-Tol))(H)(PCy3) (4). When this reaction was performed in benzene-d(6), the partially deuterated analogue Ir(xantSi(Me)Si(p-Tol))(D)(PCy3-dn) (4-D) was formed due to the deuteration of Ir-H and some C(sp(3))-Hs of PCy3 of 4 via H/D exchange with benzene-d(6). Moreover, 2-PCy showed catalytic activity similar to that of 1. On the basis of these results, it is suggested that 4 and 4-D functioned as active species for the catalytic deuteration of PCy3 using 2-PCy.
