Abstract

<div class="line" id="line-11"> The alkene-containing&nbsp;phosphines&nbsp;PPh((CH2) <i> n </i> CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH2)2)2&nbsp;(4) are prepared from PPhH2,&nbsp; <i> n </i> -BuLi, and the corresponding&nbsp;bromoalkenes&nbsp;(1 &ratio; 2 &ratio; 2), and combined with the platinum tetrahydrothiophene complex [Pt(&mu;-Cl)(C6F5)(S(CH2CH2&ndash;)2)]2&nbsp;(12) to give the square-planar adducts&nbsp; <i> trans </i> -(Cl)(C6F5)Pt(PPh((CH2) <i> n </i> CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH2)2)2&nbsp;(11, 93&ndash;73%;&nbsp; <i> n </i> &nbsp;=&nbsp;a, 2;&nbsp;b, 3;&nbsp;c, 4;&nbsp;d, 5;&nbsp;e, 6;&nbsp;f, 8). Ring-closing metatheses with Grubbs' catalyst (2) are studied. With&nbsp;11e, two isomers of&nbsp; <i> trans </i> -(Cl)(C6F5) <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e012.gif"/> Pt( <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e010.gif"/> PPh(CH2)14P <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e013.gif"/> (C <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e011.gif"/> H2)14Ph) (15e) are isolated after hydrogenation. Both form&nbsp; <i> via </i> &nbsp;dimacrocyclization between the&nbsp; <i> trans </i> -phosphine&nbsp;ligands, but differ in the dispositions of the PPh rings ( <i> syn </i> , 31%;&nbsp; <i> anti </i> , 7%). The alternative intraligand&nbsp;metathesis&nbsp;product&nbsp; <i> trans </i> -(Cl)(C6F5)Pt( <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e010.gif"/> PPh(C <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e011.gif"/> H2)14)2&nbsp;(16e) is independently prepared by (i) protecting&nbsp;4e&nbsp;as a borane adduct, H3B&middot;PPh((CH2)6CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH2)2, (ii) cyclization with&nbsp;2&nbsp;and hydrogenation to give H3B&middot; <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e010.gif"/> PPh(C <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e011.gif"/> H2)14, (iii) deprotection and reaction with&nbsp;12. The sample derived from&nbsp;11e&nbsp;contains &le;2%&nbsp;16e;&nbsp;mass spectra&nbsp;suggest that the other products are dimers or oligomers. The structures of&nbsp; <i> syn </i> -15e,&nbsp; <i> anti </i> -15e&nbsp;and&nbsp;16e&nbsp;are verified crystallographically, and the&nbsp;macrocycle&nbsp;conformations analyzed. As expected from the (CH2) <i> n </i> &nbsp;segment length,&nbsp;11a&nbsp;undergoes intraligand&nbsp;metathesis&nbsp;to give ( <i> Z </i> , <i> Z </i> )- <i> trans </i> -(Cl)(C6F5)Pt( <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e010.gif"/> PPh(CH2)2CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH(C <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e011.gif"/> H2)2)2&nbsp;(86%), as confirmed by a crystal structure of the hydrogenation product. Although&nbsp;11b&nbsp;does not yield tractable products,&nbsp;11c&nbsp;gives&nbsp; <i> syn </i> -( <i> E </i> , <i> E </i> )- <i> trans </i> -(Cl)(C6F5) <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e012.gif"/> Pt( <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e010.gif"/> PPh(CH2)4CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH(CH2)4P <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e013.gif"/> (CH2)4CH <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e001.gif"/> CH(C <img src="https://www.rsc.org/images/entities/char_e011.gif"/> H2)4Ph) (21%). This structure, and that of the hydrogenation product ( <i> syn </i> -15c; 95%), are verified crystallographically. Analogous sequences with&nbsp;11d,f&nbsp;give&nbsp; <i> syn </i> -15d,f&nbsp;(5 and 14% overall).</div><div class="line" id="line-99"> <br/></div>
