Abstract
A new transformation is reported in which a norbornyl-substituted platina(IV)cyclobutane complex is reacted with selected diazo derivatives to yield cis-1,3-divinylcyclopentane products in excellent yields. The distal substituent on one vinyl moiety is formed stereospecifically, while the substituent on the other vinyl moiety is not. Mechanistic details suggest a specific binding site for the diazo derivative leading to formation of a metallacyclopentane intermediate which spontaneously yields the divinyl product. The first crystal structure of a platina(IV)-cyclobutane bearing an electron-withdrawing aldehyde functionality is also included.
