Formation of acetylplatina(IV)cyclobutane: methodology for the synthesis of platina(IV)cyclobutane complexes bearing electrophilic substituents

Abstract

A methodology for the syntheses of platina (IV) cyclobutanes bearing an electron-withdrawing keto group has been achieved. This method, which involves protection of cyclopropyl methyl ketone, platinum insertion, and subsequent deprotection, yields acetylplatinacyclobutane
