Abstract
Reactions of alkenes (ethylene, propene, and 1-hexene) with water in the presence of cis-Pt(Cl) 2(TPPTS)2 (TPPTS = P(m-C 6H 4SO 3Na) 3) produces stoichiometrically the Wacker oxidation product (acetaldehyde, acetone, and 2-hexanone, respectively) and trans-Pt(Cl)-(H)(TPPTS) 2. The presence of the phosphine ligands provides stability to the hydride complex such that decomposition to the metal is prevented. For C 2H 4 the final product is trans-Pt-(Cl)(C 2H 5)(TPPTS) 2. These reactions are fully consistent with the PdCl 4 2- oxidation of alkenes. At higher temperatures, however, C 2H 4 is catalytically oxidized to CH 3CHO in a mechanism that appears to be different. At 95°C, 90 turnovers are observed.
