Abstract
In this report, we present the synthesis of six novel neutral platinum complexes employing readily available P,N-donor ligands through a straightforward two-step procedure. Subsequently, we investigated their catalytic activity in the hydroelementation of terminal olefins, highlighting their versatile utility in material and natural product chemistry. The efficient addition of silicon, germanium, and boron hydrides to the CC bond at low catalyst loading occurred exclusively in an anti-Markovnikov manner. Furthermore, our substrate scope encompasses a wide range of aliphatic and aromatic alkenes, featuring substituents with varying electronic properties. In contrast to many previous Pt-complexes, our catalytic system displayed exceptional chemoselectivity towards other unsaturated functional groups, such as carbonyl and internal CC bonds. Notably, it also exhibited remarkable tolerance to hydroxyl, alkoxyl, silyl, and thioether moieties. Additionally, we accentuated the prowess of our catalyst, showcasing its capability to sustain consistent activity and selectivity throughout numerous catalytic cycles.
