Abstract

The synthesis and structural characterization of a series of novel platinum(0) complexes were reported. A number of (NHC)Pt(dvtms) (dvtms = 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane) complexes were investigated in catalytic addition of B2Pin2 to terminal alkenes. The novel expanded ring N-heterocyclic carbene complex (7-Dipp)Pt(dvtms) showed highest performance, turnover numbers up to 3800 were achieved. The scope of the reaction was illustrated by 20 examples with a variety of alkyl, alkoxy, halogen, ester, ketone and acetal substituents.
