Abstract
The preparation and reactions of cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2 (TPPTS = P(m-C6H4SO3Na)3) in aqueous solution are described. In the absence of excess Cl-, cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2 exists as a mixture with 20% of cis-Pt(Cl)(H2O)(TPPTS)2+; the aqua complex was prepared independently by reaction with Ag+. As a result of the aquation cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2 is slightly acidic. Increasing the pH for a solution of cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2 leads to Pt2(TPPTS)4(μ-OH)22+; a subsequent decrease in pH leads to cis-Pt(OH2)2(TPPTS)22+ and, ultimately, cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2. All of these complexes were characterized by 31P and 195Pt NMR. cis-PtCl2(TPPTS)2 functions as an effective hydration catalyst for the water-soluble alkynes 4-pentyn-1-ol and 3-pentyn-1-ol. Both hydrations are stereospecific to 5-hydroxy-2-pentanone. Hydration of 4-pentyn-1-ol occurs by a 5-exo-dig mechanism, while hydration of 3-pentyn-1-ol occurs through a 5-endo-dig mechanism.
