ChemInform Abstract: Stereochemistry of the Oxidative Addition of an Epoxide to Platinum(II): Relevance to Catalytic Reactions of Epoxides.

Abstract

The reaction of (R)‐styrene oxide and that of cyclic trans‐CHD‐CHPh‐O with CO2 and PtMe2(1,10‐phenanthroline) are investigated using NMR techniques.
