Abstract

Results Preparation of Bis (triisopropylphosphine)-3, 3-dimethylplatinacyclobutane (2) and Bis (tricyclohexylphosphine)-3, 3-di-methylplatinacyclobutane (3). Platinacyclobutanes 2 and 3 were isolated in 19% and 17% yields, respectively, as air-stable, white crystalline solids from the reaction of 2 equiv of the corresponding trialkylphosphine with dineopentyl (1, 5-~ yclooctadiene) platinum-(11) in cyclohexane at 50 OC and were characterized by a ...
