17. Our earlier synthesis of 1, 4-dichloro-2, 2, 3, 3-tetramethylbutane by the iodine-promoted coupling of ethyl 2-methylpropionate proved difficult to scale up because dilute conditions and low temperatures were required to avoid undesired Claisen condensation of the lithium enolate and the starting aldehyde.

Although similar platinummethylene species have been postulated as intermediates in heterogeneous platinum-catalyzed reactions, the only soluble platinum-carbene complexes isolated thus far contain a heteroatom-stabilized carbene moiety.

Although formation of three-membered metallocycles by other routes, such as reduction of metal-halide bonds, is a well-known reaction, only one case of phosphine metalation to produce a platinacyclopropane has been reported.
