Abstract:
The photoinduced reaction of [Pt(NO3)6]2- with pyridine or its derivatives (L) was found to result in the formation of [PtL4](NO3)2 salts in high yield. This transformation was successfully probed for methyl- and carboxyethyl-substituted pyridines, and the corresponding [PtL4](NO3)2 salts were isolated and fully characterized using single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). Anation of the [Pt(py)4]2+ cationic complex with N3- was studied by 1H NMR spectroscopy in aqueous and water/dimethyl sulfoxide solutions of [Pt(py)4](NO3)2. A mixture of cis- and trans-[Pt(py)2(N3)2] complexes was determined as the final product of this interaction with the domination of the trans-isomer (cis to trans ratio is about 1:8) due to its preferable formation from the transient [Pt(py)3(N3)]+ cationic complex. The difference observed for the experimentally determined activation parameters of trans- and cis-paths of anation was supported by DFT calculations. Finally, the new three-stage Ag-free synthetic procedure for the preparation of the trans,trans-[Pt(py)2(N3)2(OH)2] prodrug (potential agent for the photodynamic anticancer therapy) was found using (i) light-induced formation of [Pt(py)4](NO3)2 from (Bu4N)2[Pt(NO3)6] followed by (ii) anation of [Pt(py)4]2+ with azide and (iii) accomplished by oxidation of the resulting mixture of cis- and trans-[Pt(py)2(N3)2] with H2O2. Efficient separation of cis,trans-[Pt(py)2(OH)2(N3)2] and trans,trans-[Pt(py)2(N3)2(OH)2] produced at the last stage was achieved by simple recrystallization from water.

Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of...
