The mechanism of formation of propionaldehyde and π-allylplatinum(II) complexes from allyl alcohol and diallyl ether with cationic platinum(II) hydrides
Abstract
Migration of the CC bond and chelate ring formation occur in the insertion reactions of allylic acetates with cationic platinum(II) hydrides; similar behaviour explains the formation of π-allylplatinum(II) complexes and propionaldehyde from reactions of allyl alcohol or diallyl ether with such cationic hydrides.
