Anticancer platinum complexes as non-innocent compounds for catalysis in aqueous media
José Alemán, Virginia del Solar and Carmen Navarro-Ranninger
An efficient cyclization of alkyne-acids to enol-lactones catalyzed by anticancer platinum(II) and platinum(IV) compounds is described. These compounds are not only DNA-binding complexes; they can also catalyze reactions in solvents such as acetone, methanol, water or blood plasma.
