Abstract:
The nitrile complexes trans-[PtCl2 (RCN)2 ] (R=Et (NC1), tBu (NC2), Ph (NC3), p-BrC6 H4 (NC4)) and cis-[PtCl2 (RCN)2 ] (R=Et (NC5), tBu (NC6), Ph (NC7)) react with 1 equiv of the hydroxyguanidine OC4 H8 NC(=NOH)NH2 (HG) furnishing the mono-addition products trans- and cis-[PtCl2 (RCN){NH=C(R)ON=C(NH2 )NC4 H8 O}] (1-4 and 9-11; 7 examples; 54-74 % yield). Treatment of any of the nitrile complexes NC1-NC7 with HG in a 1:2 molar ratio generated the bis-addition products trans- and cis-[PtCl2 {NH=C(R)ON=C(NH2 )NC4 H8 O}2 ] (5-8 and 12-14; 7 examples; 69-89 % yield). The PtII -mediated coupling between nitrile ligands and HG proceeds substantially faster than the corresponding reactions involving amid- and ketoximes and gives redox stable products under normal conditions. Complexes 1, 6⋅4 CH2 Cl2 , 7⋅4 CH2 Cl2 , 8⋅2 CH2 Cl2 , and NC4 were studied by X-ray crystallography. Platinum(II) species 1-3, 10, 11, and especially 9, efficiently catalyze the hydrosilylation cross-linking of vinyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) and trimethylsilyl-terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-ethylhydrosiloxane) giving high-quality thermally stable silicon resins with no structural defects. The usage of these platinum species as the catalysts does not require any inhibitors and, moreover, the complexes and their mixtures with vinyl- and trimethylsilyl-terminated polysiloxanes are shelf-stable in air.

02:24Reduction of Alkynes to cis-Alkenes: Catalytic Hydrogenation
Like alkenes, alkynes can be reduced to alkanes in the presence of transition metal catalysts such as Pt, Pd, or Ni. The reaction involves two sequential syn additions of hydrogen via a cis-alkene intermediate.
02:17Reduction of Alkenes: Asymmetric Catalytic Hydrogenation
The metal catalyst used can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous. When hydrogenation of an alkene generates a chiral center, a pair of enantiomeric products is expected to form. However, an enantiomeric excess of one of the products can be facilitated using an enantioselective reaction or an...
02:40Alkynes to Aldehydes and Ketones: Acid-Catalyzed Hydration
Analogous to alkenes, alkynes also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration. While the addition of water to an alkene gives an alcohol, hydration of alkynes produces different products such as aldehydes and ketones.
00:55Nitriles to Amines: LiAlH4 Reduction
As shown below, the mechanism involves three steps. Firstly, the hydride ion acting as a nucleophile attacks the nitrile carbon to form an anion. In the second step, a second equivalent of the hydride ion attacks the anion to...
01:01Acid Halides to Carboxylic Acids: Hydrolysis
As shown below, the mechanism involves a nucleophilic attack by water at the carbonyl carbon to form a tetrahedral intermediate. This is followed by the reformation of the carbon–oxygen π bond along with the departure of a halide ion. A final proton transfer step yields carboxylic...
