195Pt NMR Determination of the Enantiomeric Purity and Absolute Configuration of Trisubstituted Allenes by Using [PtCl3(C2H4)]-[(S,S)-(1-NpMeCH)2NH2]+ as CDA

Abstract
The ionic CDA [PtCl3(C2H4)]-[(S,S)-(1-NpMeCH)2NH2]+ produces, on exchange of its coordinated ethylene by chiral trisubstituted allenes, diastereoisomeric mixtures originating distinct 195Pt NMR resonances for the complexed enantiomers, thus allowing the determination of the enantiomeric purity. A reproducible correlation between relative positions of platinum signals due to the complexed enantiomers and their absolute configuration has been found.
