Abstract

Reactions of alkenols with cis-Pt(Cl) 2(TPPTS) 2 (TPPTS = P(m-C 6H 4SO 3Na) 3) in water result in [Pt(η 3-allyl)(TPPTS) 2] + as the exclusive platinum product with 1 equiv of oxidized alkenol. The η 3-allyl is not fluxional in water, and the syn and anti isomers can be distinguished at room temperature. For 3-buten1-ol and 4-penten-1-ol, in addition to the η 3-allyl complex and oxidation of the alkene, catalytic isomerization of the alkene is observed. No reaction occurs for cis-Pt(Cl) 2(P(p-tolyl) 3) 2, cis-Pt(Cl)(THF)-(P(p-tolyl) 3) 2 +, or cis-Pt(THF) 2(P(p-tolyl) 3) 2 2+ with the alkenols in THF, indicating the importance of H 2O. Excess Cl - inhibits the reaction. The oxidation product is selectively deuterated. These observations are combined into a proposed mechanism.
