Abstract
The insertion of alkyne 2 into the S−Pt bond(s) of Pt(SAr)(Cl)(PPh3)2 (7), Pt(SAr)2(PPh3)2 (8), and Pt(SAr)(Ar′)(dppe) (9) has been investigated. Regioselective cis-insertion into the S−Pt bond of trans-7 took place with terminal and internal alkynes (RC≡CR′; R′ = H, C(O)OEt, and CH2OMe) at 70−110 °C to give Pt[(Z)-C(R′)═C(SAr)R](Cl)(PPh3)2 (Z-10) as stable compounds. The introduction of an electron-donating group in Ar of ArC≡CH and in ArS of 7 slightly facilitated the reactions. It was found that a halogen atom at the ortho position in ArS of 7 dramatically promoted the insertion (“o-halogen effect”). The insertion of a terminal alkyne (2, RC≡CH) into the S−Pt bond of trans-Pt(SAr)2(PPh3)2 (8) also occurred to afford Pt[(Z)-C(H)═C(SAr)R](SAr)(PPh3)2 (Z-16), which was further converted into Pt(PPh3)2(RC≡CH) (18) and (Z,Z)-(ArS)(R)C═C(H)-C(H)═C(SAr)(R) (19) by C−C bond-forming reductive elimination after the insertion of another 2 into the remaining S−Pt bond of 16. The “o-halogen effect” was also observed for the insertion of 2 into the S−Pt bond of trans-8 to furnish the corresponding cis-Z-16 as a kinetic product; the trans-isomer of 8 exhibited a higher reactivity than the cis-isomer. It was also revealed that photoirradiation (visible light) dramatically promoted the insertion of 2 into the S−Pt bond of trans-8. Photoinduced insertion was facilitated by introducing an electron-donating group into Ar of ArC≡CH. Contrary to the cases of PPh3-ligated platinum complexes, the insertion into the S−Pt bond of Pt(SAr)(Ar′)(dppe) (9) was realized when the electron-deficient alkyne DMAD (2t) was employed as a substrate. Also presented is the insertion of two alkynes into each S−Pt bond of 8 in the Pt-catalyzed stereo- and regioselective dimerization−bisthiolation of alkyne (2) by diaryl disulfide ((ArS)2, 30) to yield functionalized symmetrical 1,3-dienes.
