Abstract
Abstract The reaction of dichloro(1,5-cyclooctadiene)platinum(II), 1 with dimethyl diazomethylphosphonate, 2 , results in the formation of products of insertion of the carbene moiety into one or both PtCl bonds. An X-ray diffraction study of a crystal obtained from the major bis-insertion product of this reaction shows it to be ( R , R )-bis[chloro(dimethoxyphosphonyl)methylyl](1,5-cyclooetadiene)platinum(II), 5 . The space group is polar indicating that spontaneous resolution has occurred upon crystallization.
