Abstract:
The first organotin(IV), aluminium(III)-μ-oxoisoprovides of the type [R3SnOA](OiPr)2] (R = Me or Ph) have been made by heating of trimethyl- or triphenyl-tin acetate with aluminium isopropoxide. The reactions of these μ-oxoisopropoxides with benzoylacetone in 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratios yielded the compounds of the type [R3SnOAl(OiPr)(bzac)] and [R3SnOAl(bzac)2] (where R = Me or Ph and BZAC = deprotonated benzoylacetone), respectively.
