Sn(ii)–carbon bond reactivity: radical generation and consumption via reactions of a stannylene with alkynes

Abstract

Thermal Sn–C cleavage in the diarylstannylene Sn(AriPr4)2 (AriPr4 = C6H3-2,6-(C6H3-2,6-iPr2)2) was used to generate ˙Sn(AriPr4) and ˙AriPr4 radicals for alkyne arylstannylation. The radical pair and RCCR′ (R = H, R′ = Ph; R = Ph, R′ = Ph; R = H, R′ = C4H9; R = H, R′ = SiMe3) in refluxing benzene generate the aryl vinyl stannylene complexes, AriPr4Sn{C(C6H5)-C(H)(AriPr4)} (1), AriPr4Sn{C(C6H5)-C(H)(C6H5)} (2) and AriPr4Sn{C(C4H9)-C(H)(AriPr4)} (3) respectively. For HCCSiMe3, the known distannene {Sn(CCSiMe3)AriPr4}2 (4) was also generated from this new method.
