Phosphine-induced β-aryloxy elimination from aryloxyethylplatinum complexes having triphenylphosphine ligands
Abstract
Addition of phosphorus ligands such as triphenylphosphine and triethyl phosphite to (β-aryloxyethyl)-(bromo)bis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(II) solution accelerates β-aryloxy group elimination by platinum to liberate ethylene.
