TRANSFORMATIONS OF CYCLOPROPANE IN RIGID HYDROCARBON SYSTEMS USING PLATINUM(II)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/0022-328X(85)87387-3

Using the cyclopropane adducts of the norbornyl system, platinacyclobutane complexes were prepared.In this article, the reactions of these platinum(IV) complexes with heat, CH2N2 and DMSO are discussed.In each case, a unique olefinic product has been produced.In another reaction, the platinacyclobutane of phenylcyclopropane is treated with CH2N2 to produce styrene.
