unless otherwise stated. All solvents were dried and degassed by standard
techniques and stored under dinitrogen over 4 Å molecular sieves or
sodium metal. n-Butyllithium and hydrochloric acid were obtained from
commercial sources (Aldrich or Acros) and used as received. Commer-

assignments are reversed. The 1H-13C HMQC spectrum did not show

(PEt3)2 and lithiopentachlorobenzene27 were prepared by literature
based on integration values (see SI). A previously reported Ph2PCHMe

the reverse of our assignment order in δ. 13C{1H} NMR (CDCl3, 125

acid. NMR spectra were recorded on Bruker AMX-250, -300, or -500
spectrometers at ambient probe temperature unless otherwise stated.
Chemical shifts are given as δ, and coupling constants (J) in Hz. 1H and
13C NMR shifts are relative to internal TMS (0 ppm) as referenced
to solvent signals. 31P NMR shifts are relative to external 85% H3PO4
(0 ppm), and 195Pt NMR shifts are relative to external K2PtCl4/D2O
(-1624 ppm). NMR peak assignments were assisted by COSY, DEPT,
and HMQC experiments (SI).
Pt(PEt3)(K2-P,C-PEt2CHMe)(C6Cl5) (1). A suspension of C6Cl6
(50.3 mg, 0.177 mmol) in 0.5 mL of THF was cooled to -30 °C in a
refrigerator. The C6Cl6 mixture was removed from the refrigerator, and
nBuLi (0.11 mL, 0.176 mmol, 1.6 M in hexanes) was added dropwise
into the stirred C6Cl6 mixture over a 5 min period.27 The resulting dark
brown solution was stirred for another 20 min and then replaced in the
refrigerator for ca. 20 min. The cold solution was then slowly added
dropwise to a stirred suspension of cis-Pt(PEt3)2Cl2 (40.8 mg, 0.0812
mmol) in 0.5 mL of THF, previously cooled to -30 °C in the
refrigerator. The dark brown mixture was stirred for 20 min and allowed
to warm to room temperature. The mixture was filtered through
diatomaceous earth, and the volatiles were removed under reduced
pressure to give a dark brown oil. The oil was dissolved in CHCl3 and
washed 3ꢀ with H2O. The volatiles were removed under reduced
pressure from the organic fraction, and the resulting dark brown solid
was washed with 0.2 mL of EtOH, collected by filtration, and dried under
reduced pressure to give crude brown solid 1. Yield: 33 mg (60%). The
brown material is nearly pure by NMR and may be recrystallized from
CH2Cl2/EtOH to give a yellow solid. Yellow single crystals for X-ray
analysis were grown by slow vapor diffusion of EtOH into a CH2Cl2
solution at room temperature.

experiments. 31P{1H} NMR (CDCl3, 101 MHz): 19.7 (d with satellites,
JPtP = 3004, JPP = 29, P2); -22.4 (d with satellites, JPtP = 1542, JPP = 29,

and C6D6. 195Pt NMR (CH2Cl2, 64 MHz): -3252 (q, JPPt = 3088 and
1588). 195Pt NMR (hexanes, 64 MHz): -3260 (q, JPPt = 3063 and

CHMe)(C6Cl5) (1). (a). Complex 1 (15.7 mg, 0.0231 mmol) dissolved
in 0.2 mL of CDCl3 was placed into a screw-capped NMR tube fitted
with a rubber septum. HCl(g) (2.0 mL, 0.065 mol) was injected by
syringe into the NMR tube, and the tube was shaken. The volatiles were
removed under reduced pressure to give 2 as a brown solid. Yield: 15.1
mg (91.3%). HCl(aq) could be used in place of HCl(g). (b) Complex 1
was eluted with hexanes/CH2Cl2 (90:10) on a thick chromatographic
plate and then extracted with C6H6. The volatiles were removed under
reduced pressure to give 2 as a brown solid. Light yellow single crystals
for X-ray analysis were grown by slow vapor evaporation of a CH2Cl2
solution at room temperature. Details of the structure are available in the
Supporting Information. The 195Pt and 31P NMR data match the
literature report.5
