The ligands 2-XC6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2 (1) react with [Pt2Me4(mu-SMe2)2] (2) to give [PtMe2(2-XC6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] (3), which then react either by ortho metalation to give CH4 and [PtMe-(2-XC6H3CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] (4) or undergo oxidative addition of the C-X bond to give [PtXMe2-(C6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] (5). These complexes, and related compounds with modified aryl substituents, have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, and the derivative [PtClMe2(ClC6H3CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] (7b) has been characterized crystallographically. The complex [PtMe(C6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] reacts with CD3Br or MeI to give [PtBrMe(CD3)(C6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)] or [PtIMe2(C6H4CH = NCH2CH2NMe2)], respectively, initially by trans oxidative addition. The ligands 2-XC6H4CH = NR (R = Ph, Pr) react with [Pt2Me4(mu-SMe2)2] to give similar products of ortho metalation, [PtMe(2-XC6H3CH = NR)(SMe2)], or oxidative addition, [PtXMe2(C6H4CH = NR)(SMe2)]. The kinetics of the reaction of 3 to give 4 or 5 have been studied, and the reactions each follow first-order kinetics. The activation parameters for both types of reaction are similar, and since the ortho metalation is presumed to occur by concerted C-H oxidative addition followed by rapid reductive elimination of methane, it is suggested that the oxidative addition of aryl-bromide or aryl-chloride bonds also occurs by a concerted mechanism. The rates of reaction are C-Br > C-Cl > C-H, and internal competition reactions give the sequence C-Cl > C-H > C-F. Hence, the overall reactivity series is C-Br > C-Cl > C-H > C-F, the series of increasing C-X bond energies. These are the first examples of aryl-halogen bond activation by platinum(II) complexes.
