“…Synthesis of [(g 5 -C 5 Me 4 iPr)Ir(L-phenylalaninate)Cl] complex(17) Following the general procedure: 0.1000 g (0.173 mmol) of [(g 5 -C 5 Me 4 iPr)IrCl 2 ] 2 was combined with 0.0410 (0.246 mmol) of L-phenylalanine and 0.0207 g (0.246 mmol) of sodium hydrogen carbonate in methanol (30 mL) to produce 17, 0.1071 g (82.3% yield). 17 was identified based on the following information:Major isomer: 1 H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl 3 ) d 7.37-7.25 (m, 5H, ArH), 4.20 (br s, 1H, NH), 3.97-3.91 (m, 1H, NH), 3.87 (tt, J = 7.6, 5.2 Hz, 1H, aCH), 3.39 (dd, J = 14.3, 5.4 Hz, 1H, CH), 3.06 (dd, J = 14.3, 5.0 Hz, 1H, CH), 2.43 (sept, J = 7.1 Hz, 1H, Me 2 CH), 1.59 (s, 3H, CpMe), 1.55 (s, 3H, CpMe), 1.49 (s, 3H, CpMe), 1.48 (s, 3H, CpMe), 1.16 (overlapping doublets J = 7.1 Hz, 6H, CHMe 2 ) ppm.…”
