48. To determine whether this represents incomplete reaction or the thermodynamic ratio of 2/3 at this temperature, we heated 2a,b at 140°C in dimethylcyclopropane. Unfortunately, we were not able to detect the expected small amount of 3 by NMR spectrometry before irreversible decomposition began to set in. We therefore cannot rigorously establish that the 98/2 ratio of 2/3 represents the equilibrium ratio at this temperature.

51. Three Fortran programs were used to fit the data using numerical integration and least-squares nonlinear regression: Gear (v. 2.1) and Git (v. 2.1) were written by R. J. McKinney and F. J. Weigert at E. I. DuPont & Nemours Co., and Calkinetics (v. 1.0) was written by J. Krom (currently at Cornell University). The results obtained using Gear and Git agreed with those using Calkinetics.
52. In the alkane complex, the iridium center now acts as a prochiral center. To facilitate the discussion: (a) we assume the three atoms, P, Ir, and H (of the alkane ligand), are coplanar with the centroid of the cyclpentadienyl ring; (b) we have arbitrarily defined the direction of insertion of the iridium center into the C-H bond to always proceed toward the second, unbound C-H bond of the alkane ligand; (c) when defining the priority of the C center for stereochemical (R,S) assignments, the H bound to the iridium has the highest priority; this prevents changing of R and S designation solely due to changes in priority. Note that this is not the accepted system for priority.
