Helmchen and co-workers mentioned in ref 5 the potential that cyclometalation of triphenyl phosphite leads to the active catalyst upon addition of nucleophiles to the related [Ir(COD)(L)Cl] complex with L = triphenyl phosphite.

The authors report reactions with a phosphoramidite ligand with an anisyl group, which could be hemilabile, and which generates an Ir catalyst for allylic amination with cinnamyl methyl carbonate and alkylamines with rates and regio- and enantioselectivities that are similar to those of the catalyst in ref 10.
