Benzylidene insertion reactions in organoplatinum chemistry: mechanism and selectivity
Key Points
To investigate the benzylidene insertion reactions in organoplatinum chemistry and their selectivity.
Synthesis of cycloneophylplatinum complex
Reaction with PhCHBr2
Characterization of product complexes
Formation of [PtBr2(CH2CMe2C6H4CHPh)(NN)] from the initial complex
Demonstration of selective insertion reactions
Analysis of the mechanistic pathway for the transformations
Abstract
The reaction of the cycloneophylplatinum complex Pt(CH 2 CMe 2 C 6 H 4 )(NN), 1, with PhCHBr 2 gave the corresponding complex PtBr 2 (CH 2 CMe 2 C 6 H 4 CHPh)(NN).
