η3‑Furfuryl and η3‑Thienyl Complexes of Palladium and Platinum of Relevance to the Functionalization of Biomass-Derived Furans
dataset
posted on 2012-08-13, 00:00 authored by Yang Shi, Peter Brenner, Stefanie Bertsch, Krzysztof Radacki, Rian D. DewhurstA number of cationic and neutral η3-furfuryl
complexes
of palladium and platinum were prepared, including one with a ligand
derived from fructose, 5-chloromethylfurfural. The complexes were
studied by variable-temperature and heteronuclear correlation NMR
spectroscopy, as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Analogous
η3-thienyl complexes could be prepared and detected
in solution by NMR, but could not be isolated due to facile decomposition.
