The reaction of trimethyltinsodium (1) with 1-(diethoxyphosphoryl) oxy-1,3-cyclohexadienes in liquid ammonia under irradiation affords the corresponding 1-trimethylstannylcyclohexadienes. We suggest that these reactions occur by an S(RN)1 mechanism. On the other hand, 2-(diethoxyphosphoryl)oxy-1,3-cyclohexadiene reacts very slowly towards 1 and the substitution product decomposes under the reaction conditions employed. Thus, structurally similar compounds do not behave in the same way under ET conditions. We suggest that this behavior is mainly due to differences in spin density of their radical anions, which affect their fragmentation rates. Our results are supported by computational calculations.
