Abstract
S to Pt(II) transmethylation was obsd. on reacting [PtMe2(m-SMe2)]2 or [PtMe2(m-SEt2)]2 with 8-(methylthio)quinoline (mtq) for extended periods of time or on heating of the isolable intermediate PtMe2(mtq). The final product, syn-[fac-PtMe3(m-qt)]2 (qt- = 8-quinolinethiolato), exhibits two quinoline rings in a nearly stacked arrangement. This internal redox reaction involving organometallic Pt constitutes a variant of the known Pt complex induced S-demethylation and proceeds in a stereospecific manner, as indicated by CD3 labeling expts.
