This paper describes a convenient protocol for the regioselective sulfonylation of alpha-chelatable alcohols. Typically, the reaction of alpha-heterosubstituted alcohols with 1 equiv of p-TsCl and 1 equiv of Et3N in the presence of 2 mol % of Bu2SnO leads to rapid, regioselective, and exclusive monotosylation. The pKa of the amine was correlated to the reaction rate. A plausible mechanism for this reaction has been proposed on the basis of Sn-119 NMR studies.

The monoesterification of unsymmetrically substituted diols, which occurs at the most substituted hydroxyl when activation of the substrate is achieved through its dibutylstannylene acetal, has been investigated to ascertain the origin of the unusual reversal of chemoselectivity. A mechanism in which the dibutylstannylene acetal plays the double role of reagent and catalyst has been established, which accounts for the reactivity, selectivity, and product distribution of the reaction, The reaction pathway involves three subsequent steps, namely, (a) esterification, (b) intra- and intermolecular transesterification, and (c) quench; interplay between kinetic and thermodynamic control over the three steps is responsible for the observed product distribution. The knowledge of the reaction mechanism allows for adjustment of experimental conditions to achieve optimum selectivity, which can be >99% with the appropriate choice of reagents. The stannylation procedure converts hydroxyls into functional groups highly chemoselective toward acyl reagents, but inert toward sulfonyl halides and alkylating reagents. The reactivity of the Sn-O bond has been found to decrease with decreasing the electronegativity of ligands on tin, while halide ligands appear to be essential for reversal of chemoselectivity. A structure has been proposed for the catalytic species, in which complexation of the stannyl monoester intermediates with the starting dioxastannolane reagent activates the stannylated oxygen toward addition to the carbonyl and at the same time accounts for the steric hindrance that biases the intramolecular transesterification equilibrium toward the thermodynamically most stable monoester of the most substituted hydroxyl.
Diol-tin ketal as effective catalyst in the tin mediated benzoylation of polyols
The monobenzoylation of 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol in the presence of different tin reagent has been studied. The stannylene ketal of 1-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol has been prepared and used as a catalyst or generated in situ by exchange with other mixed tin ketals. In either case, the acylation occurs rapidly with 2 mol% of the catalyst with the known selectivity. These experiments clearly establish the catalytic nature of the acylation reaction.
