Abstract
The presence of the [2,6-(dimethylaminomethyl)phenyl-N,C,N]- (pincer) ligand (NCN) in
platinum(II) complexes has been used to generate stable organoplatinum(IV) complexes that
model possible intermediates and reactivity in metal-catalyzed C-O bond formation
processes. The complexes M(O2CPh)(NCN) [M ) Pd (1), Pt (2)] were obtained by metathesis
reactions from the chloro analogues, and although 1 does not react with dibenzoyl peroxide,
2 does so to form Pt(O2CPh)3(NCN) (3) as a model intermediate for the acetoxylation of
arenes by acetic acid in the presence of palladium(II) acetate and an oxidizing agent. The
complex Pt(O2CPh)(NCN) (2) reacts with iodomethane in a complex manner to form PtI-
(NCN) (6) and cis-Pt(O2CPh)2Me(NCN) (7). Complex 7 decomposes to form Pt(O2CPh)(NCN)
(2) and MeO2CPh, probably via benzoate dissociation followed by nucleophilic attack by the
benzoate ion at the PtIV-Me carbon atom. The Pd(II) analogue Pd(O2CPh)(NCN) (1) reacts
with MeI to give PdI(NCN) (8) and MeO2CPh, for which the potential intermediacy of Pd-
(IV) species could not confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The complex PtTol(NCN) (4) (Tol
) 4-tolyl) reacts with (PhCO2)2 to form cis-Pt(O2CPh)2Tol(NCN) (5), but, unlike the PtIVMe
analogue 7, the PtIVTol complex 5 does not undergo facile C-O bond formation. X-ray
structural studies of the isostructural square-planar complexes M(O2CPh)(NCN) (1, 2) and
of the octahedral Pt(IV) complexes as solvates 3.1/2Me2CO, 5.Me2CO, and 7.Me2CO.H2O are reported. Complexes 5 and 7 have cis-PtC2 and cis-Pt(O2CPh)2 configurations.
