As part of my diploma thesis, I reviewed the scientific literature for the synthesis procedures of metal complexes of 6-methoxyquinoline with gold(I/III) and platinum(II). After the tested reactions with 6-methoxyquinoline, I tried the same synthesis procedures with the dihydroquinidine molecule. While doing that, I changed the reaction conditions in the reactions and tested the syntheses using different solvents. Most of the reactions were preformed in the dark, due to the light sensitivity of gold and platinum salts. The goal of my thesis was to prepare a complex of 6-methoxyquinoline or dihydroquinidine with gold or platinum without impurities. I characterized the synthesized products by NMR, mass spectrometry and X-ray structural analysis.
