Platinum-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

Taking advantage of the slow hydrogenation of carbon-carbon double bonds at room temperature in the presence of platinum dioxide, it was possible to perform the ruthenium-catalyzed cross coupling reaction of electron-deficient olefins such as conjugated enones and acrylic derivatives with allyl silanes in the presence of Pt(>2 under hydrogen (Scheme 46) [99].

Palladium and platinum form numerous alkyl complexes of the types M(R)(X)L2 and MR2L2, usually stabilized by phosphine ligands. The palladium compounds are prone to reductive elimination this is important in palladium catalyzed cross-coupling reactions (Section 21-14) ...

A separate, quite thorough study of terminal alkyne hydrosilylation with platinum arrived at a similar set of conditions.39 This work utilized a one-pot hydrosilylation with the preformed platinum(O) complex (>Bu3P)Pt[(CH2=CH)Me2Si]20 ([(CH2=CH)Me2Si]20 = DVDS) and subsequent palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction to demonstrate that the platinum catalyst is compatible with cross-coupling conditions, providing a convenient hydrocarbation of terminal alkynes (Table 2). 

Denmark pursued intramolecular alkyne hydrosilylation in the context of generating stereodefined vinylsilanes for cross-coupling chemistry (Scheme 21). Cyclic siloxanes from platinum-catalyzed hydrosilylation were used in a coupling reaction, affording good yields with a variety of aryl iodides.84 The three steps are mutually compatible and can be carried out as a one-pot hydro-arylation of propargylic alcohols. The isomeric trans-exo-dig addition was also achieved. Despite the fact that many catalysts for terminal alkyne hydrosilylation react poorly with internal alkynes, the group found that ruthenium(n) chloride arene complexes—which provide complete selectivity for trans-...
