A sterically congested aryltrimethylstannane – Synthesis, reactivity, transmetalation and CH–π interaction
摘要:
The synthesis of a novel sterically congested tetraorganotin compound, (4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimesitylphenyl) trimethylstannane (1), is reported and its reactivity with special focus on transmetalation studied. The reaction of compound 1 with reagents such as HgCl(2), BiCl(3) and HOTf gave (4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimesitylphenyl)dimethyltin chloride (2) and (4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimesitylphenyl)dimethyltin triflate (3), respectively, as a result of selective tin-methyl bond cleavage. Less bulky aryltrimethyltin derivatives react with BiCl(3) to give both tin-methyl and tin-aryl bond cleavage. Hydrolysis of compound 3 proceeds slowly to give bis-(4-tert-butyl-2,6-dimesitylphenyl) dimethyl stannoxane (5) via the intermediate (4-tert-butyl2,6-dimesitylphenyl)dimethyltin hydroxide (4). All terphenyldimethyltin derivatives that were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis show C-H center dot center dot center dot pi interactions. Based on these results, the optimum C-H center dot center dot center dot pi distance (C center dot center dot center dot centroid(aryl) distance) is suggested to be in the range 3.4 and 3.5 angstrom.
