Asymmetric induction by the s-butyl group in cis- and trans-dichloro(benzylamine)(olefin)platinum(II) complexes
Abstract
In cis- and trans-dichloro[CH:CH·(CH2)n·[graphic omitted]H(Me)Et](benzylamine)platinum(II) complexes, the asymmetric carbon atom originally present in the olefin induces the opposite absolute configuration in the tertiary carbon atom bound to Pt and, at least in the cis-complexes, the extent of asymmetric induction rapidly diminishes with increasing n.
