Reactivity of a platinum-substituted borirene†
Abstract
We report on (i) the reactivity of the title compound trans-[Cl(PMe3)2Pt{μ-BN(SiMe3)2CC}Ph] (1), which underwent a photochemical rearrangement reaction to afford the platinum boryl complex trans-[Cl(PMe3)2PtBN(SiMe3)2CCPh] (2), (ii) a ring-opening reaction by chemoselective boron–carbon bond cleavage resulting in the amino(vinyl)borane trans-[Cl(PMe3)2PtCHC(BClN(SiMe3)2)Ph] (3), and (iii) a Cl–Br
