Abstract
Abstract Tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)platinum(O) (Pt(PPh 3 ) 4 ) is an effective catalyst precursor for the carbonylative cross-coupling of alkyl iodides with sodium tetraphenylborate (NaBPh 4 ) which yields the corresponding alkyl phenyl ketones. In the reaction of n-hexyl iodide with NaBPh 4 , n-hexyl phenyl ketone was obtained in 60% yield.
