Abstract
The reaction of [WH3(OCMeO)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)] with a large e xcess of anhydrous DX (X = Cl or Br) in THF selectively produces [WHD( O(2)CMe)(Ph(2)PCH(2)CH(2)PPh(2))(2)](+) and H-2; this selectivity is a consequence of the novel two-site character of the trihydride complex : the pendant acetate group is the site of deuteriation and the metal is the H-2-evolving site.
