Platinum(iv)-mediated coupling of dione monoximes and nitriles: a novel reactivity pattern of the classic oxime-based chelating ligands
Abstract
The reaction between dione monoximes and platinum(IV) nitrile complexes leads, instead of the conventional substitution, to metal-mediated coupling, giving iminoacylated species which, on being liberated, undergo disintegration to the nitrile and the oxime.
