A novel mode of access to polyfunctional organotin compounds and their reactivity in Stille cross-coupling reaction

Mono-, di-, tri- and tetra-functional organotin compounds were easily prepared in a sonicated Barbier reaction using ultrasound technology via coupling reaction of organo halides with tin halides (Bu₃SnCl, Bu₂SnCl₂, BuSnCl₃, SnCl₄) mediated by magnesium metal. The di- and tri-functional organotin compounds were tested in a Stille cross-coupling reaction in order to ascertain how many groups were transferred.     

Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and in vitro antimicrobial activity of diorganotin(IV) dichloride adducts with [1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine and 5,7-dimethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine

The heterocyclic ligands [1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine (tp) and 5,7-dimethyl-[1,2,4]triazolo-[1,5-a]pyrimidine (dmtp), react with diorganotin dichlorides giving the addition compounds Me₂SnCl₂(tp)₂, Et₂SnCl₂(tp)₂, Me₂SnCl₂(dmtp)₂, Et₂SnCl₂(dmtp)₂, Bu₂SnCl₂(dmtp), Ph₂SnCl₂(dmtp). The organotin:ligand stoichiometry goes from 1:2 to 1:1 by increasing the steric hindrance of the organic groups bound to tin. The compounds have been characterized by means of infrared, ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer and ¹H AND ¹³C NMR spectroscopy.The ligands presumably coordinate to tin classically through the nitrogen atom at the position 3. The 1:1 complexes adopt trigonal bipyramidal structures, with the organic groups on the equatorial plane and the ligand in the apical position. All-trans octahedral structures are inferred for the 1:2 complexes, except for Et₂SnCl₂(tp)₂, characterized by a skew-trapezoidal structure.¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer measurements, at room temperature, in concomitance with DFT calculations, performed on isomeric structures of R₂SnCl₂(tp)₂ (R = Me, Et), allowed us to conclude that the all-trans octahedral coordination induces self-assembly in the solid state, possibly accomplished through π-π stacking interactions among the planar ligands coordinated to the organotin(IV) compound, while the skew-trapezoidal structure attributed to Et₂SnCl₂(tp)₂, induces the formation of monomeric adducts in the solid state.In vitro antimicrobial tests showed that [n-Bu₂SnCl₂(dmtp)] has interesting properties as anti Gram-positive and antibiofilm agent.     

Kinetic studies of the interaction between organotin(IV)chlorides and tetraaza Schiff bases: Synthesis and characterization of some novel tin(IV) Schiff base complexes

In this article the kinetics of the interaction between the teteraaza Schiff bases as donor with organotin(IV)chlorides as acceptor was studied in acetonitrile. Teteraaza Schiff bases are (Me₄‐Bzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄) (tmtaa), (Me₄‐4‐CH₃Bzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄) (Metmtaa), (Me₄‐4‐ClBzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄) (Cltmtaa), i.e., [(Me₄‐Bzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄)] means that (5,7,12,14‐tetramethyldibenzo[b,i][1,4,8,11] tetraazacyclotetradecine) (tmtaa) and organotin(IV)chlorides are methyltin(IV) trichloride, phenyltin(IV)trichloride, dimethyltin (IV)dichloride, diphenyltin(IV) dichloride, and dibutyltin(IV)dichloride. The kinetic parameters and the second‐order k₂ rate constants show the donor properties of tetraaza Schiff bases as Me₄‐4‐CH₃Bzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄ > Me₄‐Bzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄ > Me₄‐4‐ClBzo₂[14]tetraeneN₄ and also the acceptor properties of organotin(IV)chlorides as PhSnCl₃ > MeSnCl₃ > Ph₂SnCl₂ > Me₂SnCl₂ > Bu₂SnCl₂. An excellent linearity of k_obs vs. the molar concentration of the acceptor, the high span of k₂ values, the large negative values of ΔS^≠, and the low ΔH^≠ values suggest an associative (A) mechanism for the acceptor–donor interaction. © 2011 Wiley Peiodicals, Inc.

Structural study on a sulfido-bridged dinuclear organotin(IV) complex with weak Sn ··· Sn bonding

A dinuclear anionic complex, Bu₄N[Me₂SnCl(S)ClSnMe₂Br], has been synthesized in chloroform solution by reacting (Me₂SnS)₃, Me₂SnCl₂, and Bu₄NBr. Attempts to isolate the anionic complex using tetramethylammonium cation were unsuccessful. The anion possesses two five-coordinate tin(IV) units bridged by sulfide and bromide. X-ray diffraction study revealed the possibility of a weak Sn–Sn bond in the complex. Theoretical (DFT) studies have been carried out to analyze the nature of metal–metal interaction in the complex.     

Reactivity of metal-metal bonds: II. Exchange reactions of trimethyltin derivatives of manganese and iron

The reactivity of Me₃SnMn(CO)₅, (CH₂CHCH₂)₃SnMn(CO)₅, Me₃SnFeCp(CO)₂, and Me₂Sn[FeCp(CO)₂]₂ has been investigated with respect to iodine, organomercury chlorides, trialkyl- and triarylchlorosilane, inorganic chlorides (SiCl₄, SnCl₄, TiCl₄, ZnCl₂, HgCl₂) and Mn₂(CO)_l0.Iodination proceeded with dominant metal-metal bond cleavage in all solvents used, as was the case in most of the subsequent reactions, with the exception of the triallyltin derivative where carbon—metal bond fission occurred.Me₃SnFeCp(CO)₂ reacted with MeHgCl in a $\text{1}\text{1}$ ratio in DMSO-d₆ to give initially MeHgFeCp(CO)₂ and Me₃SnCl which subsequently gave Me₄Sn, Me₂Hg, Hg[FeCp(CO)₂]₂ and ClHgFeCp(CO)₂. In contrast with the phenyl analogue, the intermediate MeHgFeCp(CO)₂ was not stable enough to be isolated. Me₂Sn[FeCp(CO)₂]₂ reacted similarly but secondary reactions yielded Me₃SnCl and, using excess MeHgCl, Me₂SnCl₂. Reaction of Me₃SnMn(CO)₅ followed similar patterns but in this instance MeHgMn(CO)₅ appeared much more stable than PhHgMn(CO)₅.Pathways accounting for all the products are discussed. Evidence is also presented for a range of exchange reactions with a variety of inorganic and organometallic chlorides.     

Speciation of volatile antimony compounds in culture headspace gases of Cryptococcus humicolus using solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry

Direct analysis of the volatile antimony compounds stibine (SbH₃), monomethylantimony, dimethylantimony (Me₂Sb) and trimethylantimony (Me₃Sb) using solid phase microextraction (SPME) with polydimethylsiloxane fibres and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) is described. The best analyte to background signal ratio was achieved using a 20 min extraction time. Antimony species were separated using a 3% phenylmethylsilicone capillary column operated at a column pressure of 70 kPa, a flow rate of 1.4 ml min^?1 and temperature ramping from 30 to 36 °C at 0.1 °C min^?1. Cryogenic focusing of desorbed species was required to achieve resolution of antimony species. The optimized SPME–GC–MS method was applied to the analysis of headspace gases from cultures of Cryptococcus humicolus incubated with inorganic antimony(III) and (V) substrates. The headspace gases from biphasic (aerobic–anaerobic) biomass‐concentrated culture incubations revealed the presence of SbH₃, Me₂Sb and Me₃Sb. Stibine was the major antimony species detected in cultures amended with inorganic antimony(V). Me₃Sb was the sole volatile antimony species detected when cultures were amended with antimony(III).

Thermodynamics of metal-ligand bond formation: XVI. Base adducts of some organotin compounds

Thermodynamic data have been obtained by calorimetric titration in benzene solution at 30° for reaction of organotin compounds with Lewis bases; data are reported for forty acid/base systems.Ph₃SnCl forms $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts of low stability with pyridine (py) or 4-methyl-pyridine (4-mepy). Ph₂SnCl₂, Me₂SnCl₂, Bu₂SnCl₂ and Bu₂Sn(NCS)₂ form simultaneously $\text{1}\text{1}$ and $\text{1}\text{2}$ adducts with py or 4-mepy and $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts with 2,2′-bipyridine or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen); the enthalpies of formation of the phen adducts are similar to those of $\text{1}\text{2}$ adducts with 4-mepy. With BuSnCl₃ and PhSnCl₃ it was not possible to obtain data for each step in addition of pyridine or 4-mepy. Adduct stabilities increase with increasing chloride substitution and in the order Bu < Me < Ph; adducts of Bu₂Sn(NCS)₂ are more stable than those of Bu₂SnCl₂.Tributylphosphine does not react with Ph₃SnCl but gives $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts with the other tin compounds; only PhSnCl₃ adds a second molecule of this base. The $\text{1}\text{1}$ adducts are more stable than those with heterocyclic bases. Tributylamine brings about disproportionation of the compounds R₂SnX₂ to R₄Sn and SnX₄NBu₃.     

Synthesis,characterization, and antibacterial activity of triorganotin(IV) complexes of 2-methylphenol

The triorganotin(IV) complex Ph₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of Ph₃SnCl with NaOPhMe-2, while complexes of composition n-Bu₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (2) and Me₃Sn(OPhMe-2) (3) (where ?OPhMe-2 = ?OC₆H₄CH₃-2) have been obtained from the reaction of n-Bu₃SnCl and Me₃SnCl with 2-methylphenol in the presence of triethylamine in carbon tetrachloride. The complexes have been characterized by elemental analyses, molar conductance measurements, molecular weight determination, and IR, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectral studies. Thermal behavior of the complexes has been studied by TG and DTA techniques. The organotin(IV) complexes have also been screened for antibacterial activity and exhibit appreciable activity. The reactions of the complexes with 3- and 4-cyanopyridines yielded 1 : 1 adducts authenticated by physicochemical and IR and ¹H NMR spectral data.     

Speciation and GC retention indices of some organotin compounds in water

Analytical methods have been developed for the quantitative determination of Bu₄Sn, Bu₃Sn⁺, Bu₂Sn²⁺, BuSn³⁺, Me₃BuSn, Me₂Bu₂Sn, MeBu₃Sn, MeBuSn²⁺, Me₂BuSn⁺ and MeBu₂Sn⁺ in water. Organotin compounds are extracted from water with tropolone at 0.1 % in n-pentane, derivatized with n-pentylmagnesium bromide and determined by gas chromatography with flame photometric detection or flame ionization detection. Absolute detection limits are 0.05-0.12 ng and 1.2-13 ng as tin, respectively. The method was applied to the analysis of spiked tap-water containing 0.3-1000 ng cm^?3 of each of the organotin compounds.

Hydrierung von Silicium-Halogen-Verbindungen mittels Trialkylstannylchlorid/Natriumhydrid

Zusammenfassung Organostannylchloride vom Typ R₃SnCl und R₂SnCl₂ (R=Me,n-Bu, Ph) können in einfacher Weise mit NaH zu den entsprechenden Hydriden R₃SnH und R₂SnH₂ umgesetzt werden, wenn als Lösungsmittel Diethylenglykoldialkylether verwendet werden. Trialkylzinnhydrid wie Bu₃SnH können zur Hydrierung von Si-Cl-Bindungen in Mono- und Disilanen eingesetzt werden, wobei in Abhängigkeit vom notwendigen Katalysator (tertiäre Amine, N-Heterocyclen, ³-Phosphorverbindungen, Ammonium- und Phosphoniumsalze) nur hydriert oder (mit stark nucleophilen Katalysatoren) auch die Si-Si-Bindung gespalten werden kann. Durch Verwendung eines Unterschusses an Bu₃SnH können auch gezielt teilhydrierte Produkte erhalten werden. Das Verfahren kann als Kreislaufprozeß geführt werden.

Hydration of silicium-halogen-compounds with trialkylstannyl chloride/sodium hydride (short commun)

Summary Organotinchlorides of the general formula R₃SnCl and R₂SnCl₂ (R=Me,n-Bu, Ph) can easily be converted into the corresponding hydrides R₃SiH and R₂SiH₂ employing NaH in diethylene glycol dialkyl ethers. Using trialkyltinhydrides like Bu₃SnH in combination with a catalyst (tertiary amines, N-heterocycles, phosphonium or ammonium salts), Si-Cl bonds in mono- and disilanes are hydrogenated. In the case of disilanes, Si-Si bond cleavage and concurrent hydrogenation can be afforded with strongly nucleophilic catalysts. Partial hydrogenation is also possible. The whole process can be run cyclically.

     

Reactions of methylchlorodisilanes with Grignard reagents

Reactions of Cl₂MeSiSiMeCl₂ with RMgCl make it possible to obtain and isolate pure disilanes containing a smaller number of functional groups, namely, RMeClSiSiMeCl₂ (R = Ph), RMeClSiSiMeRCl (R = Prⁱ, Ph), and R₂MeSiSiMeRCl (R = Buⁱ). The reaction of Cl₂MeSiSiMeCl₂ with BuⁿMgCl is the least selective. The chlorides obtained were reduced with LiAlH₄ into the corresponding hydrides.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Carbon-13 NMR studies of some organotin(IV) compounds

The ¹³C chemical shifts and ¹³C−¹¹⁹Sn, ¹¹⁷Sn coupling constants for several organotin(IV) compounds R_xSnCl_4−x (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; x = 1−4) have been measured in both inert (CDCl₃) and donor (DMSO-d₆) solvents, as have ¹³C data for the compounds R_xSnR′_4−x (R = Me, Ph; R′ = Buⁿ and R = Me; R′ = Ph; x = 1−3) and the compounds Me₃SnX (X = pseudo halide). The δ and ¹J(C-Sn) values appear to depend mainly on the type and number of substituents on tin and the donor ability of the solvent. There are linear relationships between the number of substituents (x) and both δ and ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) for almost the R_xSnX_4−x series (R = Me, Buⁿ, Ph; X = Cl and R = Me, Buⁿ; X = Ph; x = 1−4), when measured in a single solvent, e.g. CDCl₃. There is an excellent linear relationship between ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹HC-¹¹⁹Sn) for the compounds Me_xSnCl_4−x. Determination of ¹³C data for Me₃SnCl and Ph₃SnCl in a range of solvents reveals that the value of ¹J(C-Sn) increases with the donor ability of the solvent.The marked increase in the values of ¹J(C-¹¹⁹Sn) in DMSO-d₆ for the compounds R_xSnCl_4−x(R = Me, Buⁿ,Ph) on going progressively from x = 4 to x = suggest tin coordination numbers of 4, 5, 6 and 6, respectively. Some additional physical data are presented for the isolated complexes from DMSO and the compounds Ph_xSnCl_4−x(x = 1−3) and Me₃SnX with X = N₃ or OCOMe.

Methatetical reactions of 2 with chlorides Me₃SnCl or Me₂SnCl₂ leads to the formation of the mixed subst. sulfurdiimides R? N?S?N? SnMe₃ ( 4 ) and (R? N?S?N)₂SnMe₂ ( 5 ), respectively.     

Studies on organotin compounds using the Del Re method III. Variations in tin-chlorine,tin-carbon and tin-hydrogen stretching frequencies and tin-chlorine bond distance in organotin compounds

The concept of bond order has been extended to Del Re calculations, and the bond orders of tin-chlorine and tin-carbon bonds in Me_4-nSnCl_n (n = 1 to 4) type compounds have been calculated. The tin-chlorine bond order increases progressively from 0.922 in Me₃SnCl to 0.977 in SnCl₄, and correlates satisfactorily with the experimental tin-chlorine bond distances. The tin-carbon bond order, on the other hand, remains almost constant, in agreement with the constancy of tin-carbon bond distance in the series. The average tin-chlorine, tin-carbon and tin-hydrogen stretching frequencies in similar compounds vary linearly with the calculated bond polarities indicating variation in bond polarity to be the dominating factor. The unusually low values of the tin-carbon stretching frequency for the tin-vinyl bond compared to the tin-methyl bond in Me₃ViSn and Et₂Vi₂Sn can also be explained in terms of larger polarity of the tin-vinyl bond in these compounds.     

Structural studies in main group chemistry : XXII. Structural and tin-119 mössbauer studies of some five-coordinate triorganotin anions

The structures of two complexes, [Ph₃PCH₂Ph]⁺[Bu₃SnCl₂⁻]⁻ and [Ph₃AsCH₂COPh]⁺[Ph₃SnCl₂]⁻, have been determined by X-ray diffraction. Both materials are monoclinic, space group P2_1/c. Unit cell data for [Ph₃PCH₂Ph]⁺−[Bu₃SnCl₂]⁻ are a 9.8521(6), b 16.9142(4), c 22.3517(7) Å, β 91.4235(9)°; and for [Ph₃AsCH₂COPh]⁺[Ph₃SnCl₂]⁻ a 34.9760(3), b 11.1290(5), c 24.2410(2) Å, β 108.56(2)°, and both consist of the component ionic species. The organotin anions each have trigonal bipyramidal geometry with equatorial organic groups and axial halogens. In the [Ph₃SnCl₂]⁻ anion the two Sn---Cl bond distances are the same (2.58(1) and 2.60(1) Å), but in [Bu₃SnCl₂]⁻, as in [Me₃SnCl₂]⁻, they are substantially different (2.573(7) and 2.689(6) Å). The Sn---C bond distances also vary: [Ph₃SnCl₂]⁻ 2.15(4), 2.16(3) and 2.25(5); [Bu₃SnCl₂]⁻ 2.21(1), 2.20(2) and 2.29(2) Å. Tin-119 Mössbauer data for these and several other similar complexes are also reported.     

Polarographic behaviour of some organotin(IV) compounds in dimethyl sulphoxide

The differential pulse polarographic behaviour in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) of 14 organotin(IV) compounds having the general formula R₃SnX (R = Me, Ph; X^? = NCS^?, N₃^?, N₃^?, NO₃^?, OH^?, NCO^? and OAc^?) and ⁿBu₃SnCl and ⁿBu₂SnCl₂ has been studied. The peak potential was found to depend markedly on the organic group and to a lesser extent on the nature of the anion X. The phenyltin compounds were reduced at lower potentials than the corresponding methyltin compounds. The data obtained could be used for trace determination of these compounds. Linear calibration curves were obtained over the concentration range of 2.8 × 10^?4 to 1.9 × 10^?6 mol dm^?3.     

Synthesis of bulky tris[(dimethyl(alkyl/aryl)silyl)methyl]stannanes as radical based reducing agents

The synthesis of novel bulky tris[dimethyl(ethyl/benzyl/p-tolyl/α-naphthyl)silylmethyl]stannanes (1-4) is described. Alkylation of SnCl₄ with Me₂(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH₂MgBr (10-11) gave mainly the triorganotin chlorides [(Me₂(ethyl/p-tolyl)SiCH₂)]₃SnCl 14 and 15, which were isolated by silica gel chromatography. Reduction of 14 and 15 with LiAlH₄ in THF gave the corresponding triorganotin hydrides 1 and 2, respectively. [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₃SnCl 16 and 17, generated by the alkylation of SnCl₄ with Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂MgBr 12 and 13, were inseparable from the minor product [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₂SnCl₂18 and 19, respectively. Treatment of the mixtures of 16/18 and 17/19 with NaOH furnished the corresponding mixtures of stannoxanes, from which the hexakisdistannoxanes [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₆Sn₂O 20 and 22 were isolated from the minor dialkyltin oxide derivatives [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₂SnO in good yields. Reduction of 20 and 22 with BH₃ in THF gave [Me₂(benzyl/α-naphthyl)SiCH₂]₃SnH (3 and 4), respectively in good yields. ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn, ²⁹Si NMR characteristics of the newly synthesized compounds are included.     

Equilibrium Study on Ion-Pair Formation in Water and Distribution Between Water and m-Xylene of Tetraalkylammonium Picrates

The 1:1 ion-pair formation constants (K _IP) of tetraalkylammonium (Me₄N⁺, Et₄N⁺, Pr₄N⁺, Bu₄N⁺, and Bu₃MeN⁺) picrates in water were determined by capillary electrophoresis at 25°C. The ion-pair extraction constants (K _ex,ip) of the picrates from water to m-xylene were determined by a batch-extraction method at 25°C, and the distribution constants (K _D) of the neutral ion-pairs were calculated from the relationship K _D = K_ex,ip/K _IP. The tetraalkylammonium ion having more methylene groups generally forms a slightly more stable ion-pair with the picrate ion in water, which is attributed to the lower hydration of the cation. For Me₄N⁺, Et₄N⁺, Pr₄N⁺, and Bu₄N⁺, the distribution of the ion pair into m-xylene increases in that order, and a linear relationship was found between log K _D and the number of methylene groups in the cation. This is consistently explained by the regular solution theory. It was also revealed that the ion pairs have a strong specific interaction with water. The ion pair of Bu₃MeN⁺ has a higher distribution constant than that expected from the relationship between log K _D and the number of methylene groups for the symmetrical tetraalkylammonium ions. The cation dependence of the ion pair extractability is mostly governed by that of the distribution of the ion pair.
