In situ-generated [(BINAP)(PMe3)Pt][BF4]2 reacts with benzyl alcohol at RT to yield [(BINAP)(PMe3)Pt-H][BF 4] and benzaldehyde. This reactivity contrasts similarly ligated platinum-alky I species, which are stable to β-hydride elimination even at elevated temperatures. Protonolysis of the platinum hydride leads to a species that is readily substituted by weakly coordinating ligands (acetone, pentafluorobenzonitrile).
