Oxidative C(sp3)–H bond cleavage, C–C and CC coupling at a boron center with O2 as the oxidant mediated by platinum(ii)†
Abstract
Dimethyl- and diphenylplatinum(II) fragments PtIIR2 (R = Me, Ph) enable facile and efficient oxidative C(sp3)–H bond cleavage and stepwise C–C and CC coupling at the boron atom of a coordinated 1,5-cyclooctanediyldi(2-pyridyl)borato ligand with O2 as the sole oxidant.
