Abstract:
In the title compound, [PtCl2(C21H21O3P)2]·2C3H6O, the asymmetric unit contains a Pt(II) ion situated on an inversion center, one chloride anion, one tris-(4-meth-oxy-lphen-yl)phosphane (L) ligand and one acetone solvent mol-ecule. The Pt(II) ion is coordinated by two P atoms [Pt-P = 2.3196 (5) Å] from two L ligands and two chloride anions [Pt-Cl = 2.3075 (5) Å] in a distorted square-planar geometry with P-Pt-Cl angles of 88.016 (16) and 91.984 (16)°. The effective cone angle of the phosphane ligand was calculated to be 156°. Weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds hold mol-ecules together.

Aldehydes and Ketones to Alkenes: Wittig Reaction Mechanism
The reaction begins with the nucleophilic addition between a phosphorus ylide and the carbonyl compound. Due to its carbanionic character, phosphorus ylide acts as a strong nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbonyl group. This generates a charge-separated dipolar intermediate called betaine. The negatively charged oxygen atom and...
