Aldol reactions of isocyanides with aldehydes are catalyzed by cationic platinum complexes having P-C-P or N-C-N ligands in the presence of a catalytic amount of an amine base to give 2-oxazolines (Equation (126)) 48S>485a>485b Platinum-coordinated a-isocyano carbanions presumably serve as nucleophiles toward aldehydes. Low to moderate enantioselectivities were obtained by using chiral platinum complexes.485 4853... 

It is worth mentioning that, in a related study, a chiral platinum complex prepared from bis(cyclooctadiene) platinum [Pt(COD)2] (5 mol %) and (f ,f )-Me-DuPhos (6mol%), also catalyzed the reaction of 63 c efficiently to provide the product (R)-65c... 

Williams group observed low enantioselectivities for the Michael addition of a prochiral nucleophile, ethyl 2-cyanopropionate 623, to methyl vinyl ketone 624 catalyzed by chiral platinum complexes (Scheme 8.196)." The NMR analysis indicated that these cationic Pt complexes act as Lewis acids toward nitriles. The X-ray crystal structure as well NMR analysis showed that the solvent ligand that is readily displaced by an organic substrate is situated cis to the nitrogen donor in the Pt complex and, therefore, is in a chiral pocket created by the oxazoline ring. 

The first experimental verification of these concepts in 1963 by the resolution of 124 through chiral platinum complexes 1371 was soon followed by the assignment of the chirality (—)(R) by an ingenious chemical correlation to a centrochiral compound, namely ( + )-tartaric acid138 . This was confirmed in 1970 by application of the Ryvoet-method to the platinum complex used for optical resolution 139), but is in contrast to an earlier prediction based on an optical model140). 

This method of resolution of polyolefins has been extensively studied for cyclooctatetraene systems where excellent enantiomeric excesses are normally observed. Lanthanide-induced shifting can be used to determine the diastereoisomeric composition of the urazoles. Alternate means for the resolution of polyenes based on kinetic resolution using (+)-tetra-2-pinany Iborane have been described, but this reagent consumes valuable substrate. Chiral platinum complexes can also be used but at prohibitive cost on a large scale and with poor regioselec-tivity when several coordination sites are present.

Asymmetric hydrosilylation of a-methylstyrene with HSiMeCl2 catalyzed by [(-t- )BMPP]2NiCl2 (BMPP = benzylmethylphenylphosphine) gives the corresponding optically active /3-adduct, 1, in 31% yield (20.9% enantiomeric excess (e.e.), R). When a chiral platinum complex, [(-I- )BMPP-PtCl2]2, is employed, the reaction gives 1 (5.2%... 

E -cyclooctene is subject to thermal racemization. The molecular motion allows the double bond to slip through the ring, giving the enantiomer. The larger and more flexible the ring, the easier the process. The rates of racemization have been measured for E-cyclooctene, Zf-cyclononene, and Zi-cyclodecene. For E-cyclooctene the half-life is Ih at 183.9° C. The activation energy is 35.6 kcal/mol. E-cyclononene, racemizes much more rapidly. The half-life is 4 min at 0° C, with an activation energy of about 20 kcal/mol. F-cyclodecene racemizes immediately on release from the chiral platinum complex used for its preparation. ... 

The ease of rotation will depend on the ring size. It is observed that trans-cyclooctene is quite stable to thermal racemization, and can be recovered with no loss in rotation after 7 days at 61°C. When the ring size is larger, it becomes easier for rotation of the plane of the double bond through the belt of the ring atoms to occur, and racemization takes place more readily. The half-life for racemization of trans-cyclononene is 5 min at 0°C. The resolution of /rans-cyclodecene has been accomplished using the techniques developed for irons-cyclooctene and trans-cyclononene, but it racemizes immediately on its release from the chiral platinum complex employed for its resolution. ... 

The use of chiral platinum complex as Lewis acid catalysts for the aldol reaction has been documented and studied by several groups. The platinum catalysts are generated upon the treatment of platinum salts and phosphines in generally. The PCP-type chiral platinum complexes 31 have been shown to function effectively in the aldol addition of methyl isocyanoacetate and aldehydes in excellent yields and promising enantioselectivities (Scheme 9) (78-80). The first... 

A novel chiral dissymmetric chelating Hgand, the non-stabiUzed phosphonium ylide of (R)-BINAP 44, allowed in presence of [Rh(cod)Cl]2 the synthesis of a new type of eight-membered metallacycle, the stable rhodium(I) complex 45, interesting for its potential catalytic properties (Scheme 19) [81]. In contrast to the reactions of stabihzed ylides with cyclooctadienyl palladium or platinum complexes (see Scheme 20), the cyclooctadiene is not attacked by the carbanionic center. Notice that the reactions of ester-stabilized phosphonium ylides of BINAP with rhodium(I) (and also with palladium(II)) complexes lead to the formation of the corresponding chelated compounds but this time with an equilibrium be-... 

The generalized application of the aminolysis of halophosphanes has been the method of choice for the preparation of a wide variety of chiral phosphinous amides by starting from enantioenriched primary amines [36]. The aminolysis reaction occurs efficiently even when the halophosphane is placed in the coordination sphere of a metal, as in the palladium and platinum complexes of the type ds-M(Ph2PCl2)2Cl (M=Pd, Pt) [37,38]. 

The discussion of the activation of bonds containing a group 15 element is continued in chapter five. D.K. Wicht and D.S. Glueck discuss the addition of phosphines, R2P-H, phosphites, (R0)2P(=0)H, and phosphine oxides R2P(=0)H to unsaturated substrates. Although the addition of P-H bonds can be sometimes achieved directly, the transition metal-catalyzed reaction is usually faster and may proceed with a different stereochemistry. As in hydrosilylations, palladium and platinum complexes are frequently employed as catalyst precursors for P-H additions to unsaturated hydrocarbons, but (chiral) lanthanide complexes were used with great success for the (enantioselective) addition to heteropolar double bond systems, such as aldehydes and imines whereby pharmaceutically valuable a-hydroxy or a-amino phosphonates were obtained efficiently. 

Ramirez et al.106 have investigated the series of platinum complexes of chiral Schiff bases [43]. 

Platinum complexes with chiral phosphorus ligands have been extensively used in asymmetric hydroformylation. In most cases, styrene has been used as the substrate to evaluate the efficiency of the catalyst systems. In addition, styrere was of interest as a model intermediate in the synthesis of arylpropionic acids, a family of anti-inflammatory drugs.308,309 Until 1993 the best enantio-selectivities in asymmetric hydroformylation were provided by platinum complexes, although the activities and regioselectivities were, in many cases, far from the obtained for rhodium catalysts. A report on asymmetric carbonylation was published in 1993.310 Two reviews dedicated to asymmetric hydroformylation, which appeared in 1995, include the most important studies and results on platinum-catalogued asymmetric hydroformylation.80,81 A report appeared in 1999 about hydrocarbonylation of carbon-carbon double bonds catalyzed by Ptn complexes, including a proposal for a mechanism for this process.311... 

The cA-PtCl2(diphosphine)/SnCl2 constitutes the system mostly used in catalyzed hydroformylation of alkenes and many diphosphines have been tested. In the 1980s, Stille and co-workers reported on the preparation of platinum complexes with chiral diphosphines related to BPPM (82) and (83) and their activity in asymmetric hydroformylation of a variety of prochiral alkenes.312-314 Although the branched/normal ratios were low (0.5), ees in the range 70-80% were achieved in the hydroformylation of styrene and related substrates. When the hydroformylation of styrene, 2-ethenyl-6-methoxynaphthalene, and vinyl acetate with [(-)-BPPM]PtCl2-SnCl2 were carried out in the presence of triethyl orthoformate, enantiomerically pure acetals were obtained. 

Chiral bis-(binaphthophosphole) (bis(BNP)) ligands have been used in the asymmetric hydroformylation of styrene. In solution, the free diphospholes display fluxional behavior. Consistent with their structure, the reaction of the bis(BNP) compounds with platinum(II) derivatives gives either cis chelate mononuclear complexes or trans phosphorus-bridged polynuclear derivatives. Coordination to platinum enhances the conformational stability of bis(BNP)s and diastereomeric complexes can be detected in solution. In the presence of SnCl2, the platinum complexes give rise to catalysts that exhibit remarkable activity in the hydroformylation of styrene. Under optimum conditions, reaction takes place with high branched selectivity (80-85%) and moderate enantio-selectivity (up to 45% ee). 

This reaction has lent itself to the development of its asymmetric version (Scheme 88). The trick here is to remove the choride ligands from the coordination sphere of the platinum-chiral ligand complex. This makes the metal center more electrophilic, thus reactive reactions can be run at lower temperature. Interestingly, the best ligand was found to be the atropisomeric monophosphine (fJ)-Ph-BINEPINE.312 Enantiomeric excess up to 85% was observed. Very recently, enantioselectivity up to 94% ee has been achieved using [(AuCl)2(Tol-BINAP)] as pre-catalyst for the reaction of another enyne.313... 

Rhodium (I) complexes of chiral phosphines have been the archetypical catalysts for the hydrocarbonylation of 1-alkenes, with platinum complexes such as (61) making an impact also in the early 1990s[1461. More recently, rhodium(I)-chiral bisphosphites and phosphine phosphinites have been investigated. Quite remarkable results have been obtained with Rh(I)-BINAPHOS (62), with excellent ee s being obtained for aldehydes derived for a wide variety of substrates1 471. For example, hydroformylation of styrene gave a high yield of (R)-2-phenylpropanal (94% ee). The same catalyst system promoted the conversion of Z-but-2-ene into (5)-2-methylbutanal (82% ee). 

In 1965 Rosenberg et al. (8, 9) accidentally discovered the antiproliferative effect of cis-diammine platinum complexes, which led to the first clinical trials of cis-[PtCl2(NH3)2] 1 in 1971 and resulted in the clinical use of cisplatin worldwide. Cisplatin and carboplatin 2 are the most widely used anticancer drugs, and two other analogs, nedaplatin 3 and oxaliplatin 4 (chiral centers indicated), have recently been approved for clinical use in Japan and France, respectively. 

The mechanistic study on the hydrophosphination of activated olefins, in conjunction with rapid inversion of the configuration at the phosphorus center, was elaborated to develop asymmetric hydrophosphination catalyzed by a chiral phosphine platinum complex although the % ee is not excitingly high yet (Scheme 9) [15]. 

A quite unique approach is also the complexation of chiral olefins by a ligand exchange type reaction with the chiral platinum(lV) complex (Table 1, entry 57). It is an equilibrium... 

Chiral platinum (and palladium) ethene complexes derived from Diop [2,2-dimethyl-4,5-bis-(diphenylphosphinomethyl)-l,3-dioxolane] act as chiral derivatising agents for the 31P-based NMR assay of the enantiomeric purity of certain chiral alkenes and allenes80. 

Introduction of the allene structure into cycloalkanes such as in 1,2-cyclononadiene (727) provides another approach to chiral cycloalkenes of sufficient enantiomeric stability. Although 127 has to be classified as an axial chiral compound like other C2-allenes it is included in this survey because of its obvious relation to ( )-cyclooctene as also can be seen from chemical correlations vide infra). Racemic 127 was resolved either through diastereomeric platinum complexes 143) or by ring enlargement via the dibromocarbene adduct 128 of optically active (J3)-cyclooctene (see 4.2) with methyllithium 143) — a method already used for the preparation of racemic 127. The first method afforded a product of 44 % enantiomeric purity whereas 127 obtained from ( )-cyclooctene had a rotation [a]D of 170-175°. The chirality of 127 was established by correlation with (+)(S)-( )-cyclooctene which in a stereoselective reaction with dibromocarbene afforded (—)-dibromo-trans-bicyclo[6.1 0]nonane 128) 144). Its absolute stereochemistry was determined by the Thyvoet-method as (1R, 87 ) and served as a key intermediate for the correlation with 727 ring expansion induced...
