HYDROLYSIS OF ALLYLSILANES COORDINATED TO PLATINUM(II)

Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)98602-9

Allylsilane complexes of formula, K, <(acac)-PtCl(CH2=CHCH2SiMe3)> and trans- where py = a pyridine base, have been prepared, isolated and hydrolyzed.In the cases studied the major product of the hydrolysis is an allyl-platinum(II) complex rather than propene.Propene complexes can be formed, however, if the hydrolysis is conducted at sufficiently low pH.
