Popis: The addition products 2 of a secondary amine to a coordinated olefin, in the cationic complexes [PtCl(η2-CH2=CHR)(tmeda)]+ (tmeda = N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine; R = Me, 1a; Ph, 1b, H, 1c), undergo in basic medium an intramolecular nucleophilic substitution with elimination of the chlorido ligand and formation of an azaplatinacyclobutane ring 3. The ring-closing process occurs notwithstanding the absence of a labilizing ligand trans to the leaving chlorido ligand and of bulky substituents on the amino–ethanide chain. If the addition product 2 is a mixture of Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov isomers, the ring-closing reaction is faster for the anti-Markovnikov form, and this leads to an increase of the relative amount of the anti-Markovnikov isomer in the cyclized species 3. The difference in the rate of formation of the azaplatinacyclobutane ring between the two isomers has been interpreted on the basis of a more favorable stereochemistry in the case of the anti-Markovnikov form. The X-ray crystal structures of [Pt{CH(Ph)CH2NEt2-κC,κN}(tmeda)]+ (3bn) and of its open-chain precursor, [PtCl{CH(Ph)CH2NHEt2}(tmeda)]+ (2bn) fully support this hypothesis.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
