A. Pasini et al., COMMENTS ON DIFFERENT SYNTHETIC METHODS FOR THE PREPARATION OF DIAMINE AND BIS(AMINE) ORGANODICARBOXYLATOPLATINUM(II) COMPLEXES, Synthesis and reactivity in inorganic and metal-organic chemistry, 23(6), 1993, pp. 1021-1060
Various synthetic routes to [PtA2(dic)] (1, A = NH3, amine, or 1/2 dia
mine; dic, chelated organodicarboxylate) are reviewed and discussed in
the light of the literature and our experience. Emphasis is given to
yields and purity of the intermediates and the products. A simple puri
fication procedure is described. The mechanism of the reaction between
bis(amine)dihydroxoplatinum(II) complexes and dicarboxylic acids has
been investigated by Pt-195 n.m.r. Representative preparations of some
selected compounds 1, including some new highly water soluble derivat
ives, are described in the Experimental section.
