cis-dichloro((1R,2R)-(-)-1,2-diaminecyclo hexane)platinum(II)

cisDichloro((1R,2R)()1,2diaminecyclohexane)platinum(II) is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the anticancer drug oxaliplatin. Basic information:Chemical name: cisDichloro((1R,2R)()1,2diaminecyclohexane)platinum(II)CAS number: 61848666Molecular formula: C6H14Cl2N2PtMolecular weight: approximately 380.18 g/molAppearance: yellow solid Structural features:The central atom is a platinum(II) ion (Pt2+). The coordination geometry around platinum is square planar. The four coordinating atoms are: two nitrogen atoms from the bidentate ligand (1R,2R)()1,2diaminocyclohexane (DACH), which forms a fivemembered chelate ring with platinum; and two chloride ions that are cis to each other. Simplified structural representation: The platinum is bonded to two chlorides and to the two nitrogen atoms of the DACH ligand, which are connected through a cyclohexane ring. Main uses:It is primarily used as a key intermediate for preparing oxaliplatin by reacting this compound with silver o…
