Abstract

Gentle heating of Tp‘PtMe2H (1) in alkane solvents in the presence of B(C6F5)3 results in C−H activation of the alkane solvent, R−H, to give Tp‘Pt(Me)(H)(R) intermediates. Further heating leads to formation of Tp‘Pt(η2-olefin)(H) complexes via methane elimination followed by β-hydride elimination, a stoichiometric alkane to olefin conversion.
