✦ Synopsis

Acetalization of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Compounds Catalyzed by Complexes of Pt(II).

-Cationic diphosphine complexes of Pt(II) are sufficiently Lewis acidic to catalyze the acetalization of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds (I) with ethylene glycol. In all cases tested, the Pt-complex displays complete selectivity towards the acetal formation.
