Synthesis and reactivity of ω-haloalkyltin compounds

ω-Haloalkyltin trihalides, X(CH₂)_nSnX₃ (n ≧ 3; X = halogen) can readily be prepared in high yields by the direct reaction of stannous halides with α,ω-dihaloalkanes, catalysed by trialkylantimony compounds. The compounds are versatile starting materials for the synthesis of a variety of ω-functionallysubstituted organotin compounds R_3-mX_mSn(CH₂)_n Y (R = alkyl, phenyl; m = 0-3; X = Cl, Br, O; Y = Br, NMe₂, NEt₂, COOH, CHOHR, R₃Sn). ¹H-NMR spectral data for a series of such compounds are presented. The trends observed in the chemical shifts and the ¹¹⁹Sn—methyl proton coupling constants of Me_3-m Br_mSn(CH₂)_nBr (m = 0-3; n = 3-5) are discussed in terms of inductive effects. Intramolecular coordination between the ω-bromine atom and tin could not be demonstrated.     

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.     

Synthesis,molecular structure and stereoisomerization of 2-phosphinyl and 2-phosphonylethyl diorganotin halides

Functionally substituted triorganotin halides V–IX of type R₂Sn(X)(CH₂)₂P(O)PhR′ (R = Me, t-Bu; Rt? = OEt, t-Bu; X = Cl, Br) have been synthesized by halogen cleavage of the corresponding tetraorganotin compounds R₂R²Sn(CH₂)₂P(O)PhR′ (R² = Me or Ph), I–IV. The solid state structure of Me₂Sn (Br) (CH₂)₂P(O)PhBu-t (IX), determined by X-ray diffraction, shows a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal structure at the tin atom, with intramolecular coordination of the PO group. Spectroscopic data are in agreement with such a structure in solution for compounds V–IX. Upon varying the temperature, concentration or solvent in solutions of compounds V–IX a stereoisomerization is observed. On the basis of NMR ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P, ¹¹⁹Sn), IR and conductivity studies, it is suggested that this stereoisomerization involves a hexacoordinated transition state at the tin atom.     

Diorganotin(IV) complexes of polyaromatic azo‐azomethine ligand derived from salicylaldehyde and ortho‐aminophenol: Synthesis,characterization, and molecular structures

The diorganotin(IV) complexes of methyl 2‐{4‐hydroxy‐3‐[(2‐hydroxy‐phenylimino)‐methyl]‐phenylazo}‐benzoate (H2L) were obtained by the reaction of ortho‐aminophenol, R₂SnO (R = Me, ⁿBu, or Ph) and methyl 2‐[(E)‐(3‐formyl‐4‐hydroxy)diazenyl]benzoate (H2PL²) in ethanol, which led to diorganotin(IV) compounds of composition [Me₂SnL]₂ ( 1 ), ⁿBu₂SnL ( 2 ), and Ph₂SnL ( 3 ) in good yield. The ¹H, ¹³C, and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR, IR, the mass spectrometry along with elemental analyses allowed establishing the structure of ligand (H2L) and compounds 1–3 . In all the three cases, ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts are indicators of five‐coordinated Sn atoms in a solution state. The crystal structures of ligand H2L and complexes 1 and 2 were determined by a single crystal X‐ray diffraction study. In the solid state, the ligand H2L exists as a keto‐enamine tautomeric form. The molecular structure of complex 1 in the solid state shows a distorted octahedral geometry around a tin atom due to additional coordination with an oxygen atom from a neighboring molecule leading to a four‐membered ring with Sn‐O···Sn‐O intermolecular coordination, leading to a dimeric species. On the other hand, complex 2 is a monomer with trigonal bipyramidal geometry surrounding the tin atom. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Functionalized Organotin‐Chalcogenide Complexes That Exhibit Defect Heterocubane Scaffolds: Formation,Synthesis, and Characterization

The synthesis of new functionalized organotin‐chalcogenide complexes was achieved by systematic optimization of the reaction conditions. The structures of compounds [(R^{1, 2}Sn)₃S₄Cl] ( 1 , 2 ), [((R²Sn)₂SnS₄)₂(μ‐S)₂] ( 3 ), [(R^{1, 2}Sn)₃Se₄][SnCl₃] ( 4, 5 ), and [Li(thf)_n][(R³Sn)(HR³Sn)₂Se₄Cl] ( 6 ), in which R¹=CMe₂CH₂C(O)Me, R²=CMe₂CH₂C(NNH₂)Me, and R³=CH₂CH₂COO, are based on defect heterocubane scaffolds, as shown by X‐ray diffraction, ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectroscopy, and ESI mass spectrometry analyses. Compounds 4 , 5 , and 6 constitute the first examples of defect heterocubane‐type metal‐chalcogenide complexes that are comprised of selenide ligands. Comprehensive DFT calculations prompted us to search for the formal intermediates [(R¹SnCl₂)₂(μ‐S)] ( 7 ) and [(R¹SnCl)₂(μ‐S)₂] ( 8 ), which were isolated and helped to understand the stepwise formation of compounds 1 – 6 .     

Multinuclear NMR spectra of (CH3)3SnCH2M(CH3)3 (MSn,Ge, Si,C) and some halogenated derivatives

Chemical shift and scalar coupling constant information has been obtained from the ¹H, ¹³C, ²⁹Si and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra of a series of compounds (CH₃)₃SnCH₂M(CH₃)₃, where M = Sn, Ge, Si or C and with one or two CH₃? (Sn) groups replaced by Cl, Br or I. The (CH₃)₃M and (CH₃)₃MCH₂ groups appear to have opposite substituent effects on chemical shifts.     

Studies of tris[(phenyldimethylsilyl)methylene]-tin carboxylates

Twenty-six derivatives of tris[(phenyldimethylsilyl)methylene]tin carboxylates have been prepared. All compounds are new and characterized through elemental analysis IR spectra, and ¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁰Sn NMR spectral studies. The spectral results showed that all compounds are four coordinated organotin compounds. The Δv (=υ?υ) of them are over 300 cm^?1. The chemical shifts (δ) of ¹¹⁹Sn of ArCO₂Sn(CH₂SiMe₂Ph)₃ and ArOCH₂CO₂Sn(CH₂SiMe₂Ph)₃ give good straight-line correlation with para-substituent constants. These compounds have good acaricide activity, but their action on the mite are slower than that of Torque.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Diorganotin Compounds {[R2Sn（ON =CHC6H5）]2O}2 and Crystal Structure of {[（C6H5CH2）2Sn（ON=CHC6H5）]2O}2

Introduction Dimeric tetraorganodistannoxanes are a kind of in-teresting organotin oxo clusters and have attracted con-siderable attention during the last several decades, in view of their unique structural features1-5 as well as their applications as biocides6,7 and in homogenous cataly-sis.8,9 In the solid state, they contain characteristic Sn4O2X2Y2 structural motifts with staircase or ladder arrangements, a planar four-membered Sn2O2 ring and, generally, penta-coordination around the tin…     

The synthesis,NMR (1H, 13C, 119Sn) and IR spectral studies of some di‐ and tri‐organotin(IV) sulfonates: X‐ray crystal structure of [(n‐C4H9)2Sn(OSO2C6H4CH3‐4)2·2H2O]

A number of alkyltin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, R_nSn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)_4?n (n = 2, 3; R = C₂H₅, n‐C₃H₇, n‐C₄H₉), have been prepared and IR spectra and solution NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) are reported for these compounds, including (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), the NMR spectra of which have not been reported previously. From the chemical shift δ(¹¹⁹Sn) and the coupling constants ¹J(¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) and ²J(¹H, ¹¹⁹Sn), the coordination of the tin atom and the geometry of its coordination sphere in solutions of these compounds is suggested. IR spectra of the compounds are very similar to that observed for the paratoluenesulfonate anion in its sodium salt. The studies indicate that diorganotin(IV) paratoluenesulfonates, and the previously reported compounds (n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂X)₂ (X = CH₃ and CF₃), contain bridging SO₃X groups that yield polymeric structures with hexacoordination around tin and contain non‐linear C? Sn? C bonds. In triorganotin(IV) sulfonates, pentacoordination for tin with a planar SnC₃ skeleton and bidentate bridging paratoluenesulfonate anionic groups are suggested by IR and NMR spectral studies. The X‐ray structure shows [(n‐C₄H₉)₂Sn(OSO₂C₆H₄CH₃‐4)₂·2H₂O] to be monomeric containing six‐coordinate tin and crystallizes from methanol–chloroform in monoclinic space group C2/c. The Sn? O (paratoluenesulfonate) bond distance (2.26(2) Å) is indicative of a relatively high degree of ionic character in the metal–anion bonds. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Tin Tetrachloride Adducts with Arylphosphoramidates: A Multinuclear (31P, 19F,and 119Sn) NMR Characterization in Solution

Abstract

The synthesis of octahedral complexes [SnCl₄L₂] (L = R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(O-p-tolyl): R₂N = Me₂N (1), Et₂N (2), CH₂(CH₂CH₂)₂N (3), and O(CH₂CH₂)₂N (4), or L = R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(O-p-PhNO₂): R₂N = Me₂N (5), Et₂N (6), and O(CH₂CH₂)₂N (7) is described. The new adducts have been characterized by multinuclear (³¹P, ¹⁹F, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, IR spectroscopy, and elemental analyses. The solution NMR data show the presence of a mixture of cis and trans isomers. The structure of the complexes in solution was further confirmed by ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectra, which display a triplet for each isomer, indicating an octahedrally coordinated tin center. The effects of the nature of R and Ar substituents on the donor ability of the P=O group in the ligands R₂NP(O)(OCH₂CF₃)(OAr) were investigated on the basis of ¹¹⁹Sn NMR chemical shifts and used to classify these ligands according to their Lewis basicity.     

Organotin(IV) triazolates: Synthesis and their spectral characterization

Some organotin(IV) triazolates of general formula R_nSn(L)_4 − n (where R = Me, n-Bu and Ph for n = 2; R = Me, n-Pr and n-Bu for n = 3 and HL = 3-amino-5-mercapto-1,2,4-triazole) have been synthesized by the reaction of R₂SnCl₂/R₃SnCl with NaL in 1:2/1:1 molar ratio. Whereas, Oct₂SnL₂ has been synthesized azeotropically by the reaction of Oct₂SnO and HL in 1:2 molar ratio. As good single crystals were not obtained, a large number of experimental techniques, viz. UV/Vis, IR, far-IR, multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies, were used to accomplish a definitive characterization and determination of their most probable structures. In these compounds triazole acts as a monoanionic bidentate ligand, coordinating through S_exo and N(4). The IR and ¹¹⁹Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic studies allow us to deduce a highly distorted cis-trigonal-bipyramidal structure for R₃SnL and a distorted skew trapezoidal-bipyramidal structure for R₂SnL₂, in the solid state. However, ¹H, ¹³C and ¹¹⁹Sn NMR spectral studies revealed that weak bonding between tin and N(4) is further weakened in the solution leading to pseudo-tetrahedral/tetrahedral structure.     

Über polystannane: II. I(t-Bu2Sn)4I,ein 1,4-difunktionelles tetrastannan

The compound I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I has been synthesized by controlled cleavage of the related cyclotetrastannane (t-Bu₂Sn)₄ with iodine in toluene. Both compounds have been investigated by mass, NMR and vibrational spectra. I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I: δ(¹¹⁹Sn_terminal) 67.7, δ(Sn_central) 17.4 ppm; ¹J(SnSn) 2199 (terminal-central) and 1575 (central-central), ²J(SnSn) 20 (terminal-central), ³J (SnSn) 307 Hz (terminal-terminal); ν(SnSn) 119, ν(SnI) 167 cm^?1. (t-Bu₂Sn)₄: δ(Sn) 87.4 ppm; ν(SnSn) 125 cm^?1. The crystal structure of I(t-Bu₂Sn)₄I has been determined (R = 0.071): bond lengths SnSn 289.5(1) (terminal-central) and 292.4(1) (central-central), SnI 275.3(1) pm. The conformation of the chain ISn₄I is all trans.     

A study of trialkyltin β-aryl-β-triphenylgermyl propionates

Twenty new compounds of the form Ph₃GeCHArCH₂COOSnR₃ (R = n-Bu, cyclohexyl; Ar = substituted phenyl) have been synthesized. Their structures were characterized by IR and ¹¹⁹Sn and ¹H NMR spectroscopy. The compounds are five-coordinated carboxylate bridged polymers when R = n– Bu; when R = cyclohexyl (Cy) they are four-coordinate. ¹¹⁹Sn NMR measurements of chemical shift for the two series of compounds have shown that there is a good linear relationship for the chemical shift of ¹¹⁹Sn NMR between the tributyltin and tricyclohexyltin propionates, viz. δ¹¹⁹Sn(Bu₃Sn) = 1.0474 δ ¹¹⁹Sn(Cy₃Sn) + 95.8076, n = 5, r = 0.993. The structure of one compound was determined by X-ray diffraction. It exists as a monomeric four-coordinated species in a distorted tetrahedronal geometry.     

Mössbauer and NMR studies of intramolecular coordination in thienyltetraorganotin(IV) compounds,and the x-ray crystal structure of {C,N-[3-(2-pyridyl)-2-thienyl]} tri(p-tolyl)tin(IV)

Tetraorganotin(IV) compounds containing the [3-(2-pyridyl)-2-thienyl] group (L), of formula R₃SnL (1: R = p-tolyl; 2: R = Ph; 3: R = p-ClC₆H₄; 4: R = cyclo-C₅H₉; 5; R = cyclo-C₆H₁₁) have been synthesized and their structures examined by ^119mSn Mössbauer and NMR (¹¹⁹Sn and ¹³C modes) spectroscopic techniques, and in the case of compound 1 by X-ray analysis.Compound 1 crystallises in the space group C2/c with a 20.85(1), b 9.521(1), c 26.69(1) Å; β 95.37(3)°; V 5274(3) ų; Z = 8. Its structure was solved by the heavy-atom method from 4251 observed MO-K_α data and refined to R = 0.068. The coordination environment at tin in the compound is best described as a pseudo-trigonal bipyramid, involving a waek intramolecular SnN bond of distance 2.841(7) Å. This view is supported by the observation of partially-resolved Mössbauer spectra for compounds 1–5 (QS 0.57–0.96 mm s⁻¹) which is not evidenced, on the other hand, for (2-thienyl)SnR₃ compounds (7: R = p-tolyl; 8: R = Ph), as well as by similar comparisons of data on ¹¹⁹Sn chemical shifts (−176.3 ppm for 1 relative to −135.5 ppm fr 8) and one-bond coupling constants, ¹J(¹¹⁹Sn-¹³C(1)), where C(1) = ipso-carbon of the aryl group or α-carbon of the cycloalkyl group (647.5 Hz for 1, 726.6 Hz for 2 and 786.2 Hz for 3 relative to 536.9 Hz for 7).     

Organotin(IV) Carboxylates of Substituted α‐Cinnamic Acid,RnSn(OCOC(R2)=CHR1)4 – n: Synthesis,Spectroscopic Characterization and Biological Evaluation

Di‐ and triorganotin(IV) carboxylates, R_nSn(OCOC(R²)=CHR¹)_4–n (n = 2 and 3; R = Me, Et, n‐Bu, Ph; R¹ = 3‐CH₃O‐4‐OHC₆H₃, R² = C₆H₅) were prepared by reacting the corresponding organotin(IV) chloride with the silver salt of the (E)‐3‐(4‐hydroxy‐3‐methoxyphenyl)‐2‐phenylpropenoic acid. The title compounds were investigated and characterized by elemental analysis, infrared (FT‐IR), multinuclear (¹H, ¹³C, ¹¹⁹Sn) NMR, and mass spectrometry, and possible structures were proposed. The complexes and ligand acid ( HL ) have been evaluated in vitro against various bacteria and fungi. The results noticed during the biocidal activity screenings proved their in vitro biological potential. They were also tested for cytotoxicity.     

Ethyl‐Zinc(II)‐Cation Equivalents: Synthesis and Hydroamination Catalysis

Ion‐like ethylzinc(II) compounds with weakly coordinating aluminates [Al(OR^F)₄]^? and [(R^FO)₃Al‐F‐Al(OR^F)₃]^? (R^F=C(CF₃)₃) were synthesized in a one‐pot reaction and fully characterized by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction, NMR and vibrational spectroscopy, and by quantum chemical calculations. The catalytic activity of ion‐like Et‐Zn[Al(OR^F)₄] in intermolecular hydroamination and in the unusual double hydroamination of anilines and alkynes was investigated. Favorable performance was also found in comparison to the Et₂Zn/ [PhNMe₂H]⁺[B(C₆F₅)₄]^? system generated in situ at lower catalyst loadings of 2.5 mol %.     

Carboncarbon bond formation by radical addition-fragmentation reactions of O-tert-alkyl enols and O-cyclopropylcarbinyl enols

Terminal alkenes of the type H₂CC(OR¹)X, in which R¹ is a tertiary alkyl or a 1-cyclopropylethyl group and X=Ph, OSiMe₂Bu^t, OEt or H, undergo radical-chain reactions with organic halides R²Hal to give carbonyl compounds R²CH₂C(O)X.     

Diverse reactions of nitroxide-radical adducts of silylene, germylene, and stannylene

The results of the thermolysis of 1:2 adducts of stable group-14 element divalent compounds [R₂M:, R₂=1,1,4,4-tetrakis(trimethylsilyl)butane-1,4-diyl; 1b, M=Ge; 1c, M=Sn] to TEMPO radical are discussed in detail. Whereas the thermal reactions of the 1:2 adducts [R₂M(OR^′)₂, R^′=2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-N-yl; 3b, M=Ge; 3c, M=Sn] are understood to proceed by the initial homolysis of an M-O bond to give the corresponding aminoxy-substituted group-14 element radicals [R₂(R^′O)M; 2b, M=Ge; 2c, M=Sn] and TEMPO, the subsequent reactions of 2b and 2c were remarkably different to each other; 2b favors the N-O bond fission (path b) to give the corresponding germanone, while 2c prefers the M-O bond fission (path a) to give stannylene (1c). In combining with our previous results for aminoxysilyl radical (2a) [R₂(R^′O)Si], the origin of the remarkable differences in the reactivity among group-14 element radicals 2a-2c is discussed on the basis of the theoretical calculations for model reactions.Improved syntheses of the precursor dichlorogermane and dichlorostannane of germylene (1b) and stannylene (1c), respectively, are described in Section 3.     

Steering of Configuration by (2‐Phosphanyl)phenolato Ligands in Trimethylphosphane Iron Complexes

(Diphenylphosphanyl)phenols C₆H₃(1‐OH)(2‐PPh₂)(4‐R¹)(6‐R²), abbreviated as (P^∧OH), oxidatively add to Fe(PMe₃)₄ affording hydridoiron(II) compounds fac‐FeH(P^∧O)(PMe₃)₃ ( 1 : R¹=R²=H; 2 : R¹=Me, R²=H; 3 : R¹=OMe, R²=H; 4 : R¹=Me, R²=CMe₃; 5 : R¹=R²=CMe₃) with high stereoselectivity. (2‐diphenylphosphanyl)thiophenol (P^∧SH) reacts accordingly forming fac‐FeH(P^∧S)(PMe₃)₃ ( 9 ). Complete assignment of ¹H, ¹³C, and ³¹P signals is achieved by 2D heteronuclear shift correlations. 4,6‐Di‐tert‐butyl‐(2‐diphenylphosphanyl)phenol reacts with FeI(Me)(PMe₃)₄ to form FeI(P^∧O)(PMe₃)₂ ( 6 ). 4 , 5 and 9 under 1 bar of CO are converted to monocarbonyl derivatives FeH(P^∧X)(CO)(PMe₃)₂ ( 7 , 8 : X = O; 10 : X = S) which in solution form mixtures of two isomers A and B . 4 and 5 react with their parent phosphanylphenols, respectively, to give diamagnetic complexes Fe(P^∧O)₂(PMe₃) ( 11 , 12 ) which dissociate trimethylphosphane to give paramagnetic compounds Fe(P^∧O)₂. The same phosphanylphenols react with FeCl₃ to afford racemic mixtures of complexes Fe(P^∧O)₃ ( 13 , 14 ). Structural data were also obtained from single crystals of compounds 1 , 5 , and 11 .
