Unprecedented intermolecular C-H bond activation of a solvent toluene molecule leading to a seven-membered platinacycle.
A novel platinum-mediated process involving intermolecular activation of a C(aryl)-H bond of toluene, intramolecular activation of an imine C(aryl)-Cl bond and formation of a C-C bond is reported.
