The complex [Pt 4(CH3COO)8] (1), which is a tetrameter of plat-inum(II) acetate, was first found by Skapski and co-workers in a study aiming at the isolation of pure platinum(II) acetate (24-26). They revealed that pure platinum acetate obtained using the silver acetate method (27) has an unusual tetrameric structure (Fig. 1). The structure is totally different from the trimeric structure known for palladium(II) acetate, [PdgCCHgCOOle] (28).

Place a solution of 10 -4 g. of benzalacetophenone, m.p. 57° (Section IV,130) in 75 ml. of pure ethyl acetate (Section 11,47,15) in the reaction bottle of the catalytic hydrogenation apparatus and add 0 2 g. of Adams platinum oxide catalyst (for full experimental details, see Section 111,150). Displace the air with hydrogen, and shake the mixture with hydrogen until 0 05 mol is absorbed (10-25 minutes). Filter oflF the platinum, and remove the ethyl acetate by distillation. RecrystaUise the residual benzylacetophenone from about 12 ml. of alcohol. The yield of pure product, m.p. 73°, is 9 g. 

Method A. Cool a solution of the nitrate-free dichloride, prepared from or equivalent to 5 0 g. of palladium or platinum, in 50 ml. of water and 5 ml. of concentrated hydrochloric acid in a freezing mixture, and treat it with 50 ml. of formahn (40 per cent, formaldehyde) and 11 g. of the carrier (charcoal or asbestos). Stir the mixture mechanically and add a solution of 50 g. of potassium hydroxide in 50 ml. of water, keeping the temperature below 5°. When the addition is complete, raise the temperature to 60° for 15 minutes. Wash the catalyst thoroughly by decantation with water and finally with dilute acetic acid, collect on a suction filter, and wash with hot water until free from chloride or alkali. Dry at 100° and store in a desiccator. 

Cyclopropane rings are opened hydrogenolytically, e.g., over platinum on platinum dioxide (Adam s catalyst) in acetic acid at 2 - 4 bars hydrogen pressure. The bond, which is best accessible to the catalyst and most activated by conjugated substituents, is cleaved selectively (W.J. Irwin, 1968 R.L. Augustine, 1976). Synthetically this reaction is useful as a means to hydromethylate C—C double bonds via carbenoid addition (see p. 74f. Z. Majerski, 1968 C.W. Woodworth, 1968). 

Olefins add anhydrous acetic acid to give esters, usually of secondary or tertiary alcohols propjiene [115-07-1] yields isopropyl acetate [108-21-4], isobutjiene [115-11-7] gives tert-huty acetate [540-88-5]. Minute amounts of water inhibit the reaction. Unsaturated esters can be prepared by a combined oxidative esterification over a platinum group metal catalyst. Eor example, ethylene-air-acetic acid passed over a palladium—Hthium acetate catalyst yields vinyl acetate. 

Production is by the acetylation of 4-aminophenol. This can be achieved with acetic acid and acetic anhydride at 80°C (191), with acetic acid anhydride in pyridine at 100°C (192), with acetyl chloride and pyridine in toluene at 60°C (193), or by the action of ketene in alcohoHc suspension. 4-Hydroxyacetanihde also may be synthesized directiy from 4-nitrophenol The available reduction—acetylation systems include tin with acetic acid, hydrogenation over Pd—C in acetic anhydride, and hydrogenation over platinum in acetic acid (194,195). Other routes include rearrangement of 4-hydroxyacetophenone hydrazone with sodium nitrite in sulfuric acid and the electrolytic hydroxylation of acetanilide [103-84-4] (196). 

Reduction. Quinoline may be reduced rather selectively, depending on the reaction conditions. Raney nickel at 70—100°C and 6—7 MPa (60—70 atm) results in a 70% yield of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (32). Temperatures of 210—270°C produce only a slightly lower yield of decahydroquinoline [2051-28-7]. Catalytic reduction with platinum oxide in strongly acidic solution at ambient temperature and moderate pressure also gives a 70% yield of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydroquinoline [10500-57-9] (33). Further reduction of this material with sodium—ethanol produces 90% of /ra/ j -decahydroquinoline [767-92-0] (34). Reductions of the quinoline heterocycHc ring accompanied by alkylation have been reported (35). Yields vary widely sodium borohydride—acetic acid gives 17% of l,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l-(trifluoromethyl)quinoline [57928-03-7] and 79% of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-l-isopropylquinoline [21863-25-2]. This latter compound is obtained in the presence of acetone the use of cyanoborohydride reduces the pyridine ring without alkylation.

Oxidation catalysts are either metals that chemisorb oxygen readily, such as platinum or silver, or transition metal oxides that are able to give and take oxygen by reason of their having several possible oxidation states. Ethylene oxide is formed with silver, ammonia is oxidized with platinum, and silver or copper in the form of metal screens catalyze the oxidation of methanol to formaldehyde. Cobalt catalysis is used in the following oxidations butane to acetic acid and to butyl-hydroperoxide, cyclohexane to cyclohexylperoxide, acetaldehyde to acetic acid and toluene to benzoic acid. PdCh-CuCb is used for many liquid-phase oxidations and V9O5 combinations for many vapor-phase oxidations. 

Procedure To an aliquot of the sample solution containing 12.5 - 305 p.g of platinum(IV) were added 5 ml of hydrochloric acid - sodium acetate buffer of pH 2.1, 1 ml of O.IM Cu(II) sulphate solution, and 3.0 ml of 0.5% propericiazine solution. The solution was diluted to 25 ml with distilled water, mixed thoroughly, and the absorbance measured at 520 nm against a reagent blank solution after 10 min. The platinum concentration of the sample solution was determined using a standar d calibration curve. 

Heptyl alcohol has been prepared by the reduction of heptaldehyde with zinc dust and acetic acid,i with sodium amalgam and acetic acid, with sodium in toluene and acetic acid, and with hydrogen and a platinum catalyst. Heptaldehyde has also been reduced biochemically by adding it to a fermenting sugar solution. Heptyl alcohol has been prepared by the reduction of heptoamide with sodium and amyl alcohol. ...

For use as a volumetric standard, analytical reagent grade benzoic acid should be carefully fused to ca 130 (to dry it) in a platinum crucible, and then powdered in an agate mortar. Benzoic acid has been crystd from boiling water (charcoal), aq acetic acid, glacial acetic acid, C6H6, aq EtOH, pet ether (b 60-80 ), and from EtOH soln by adding water. It is readily purified by fractional crystn from its melt and by sublimation in a vacuum at 80. ...
