Structural chemistry of organotin carboxylates XV. Diorganostannate esters of dicyclohexylammonium hydrogen oxalate. Synthesis,crystal structure and in vitro antitumour activity of bis(dicyclohexyl-ammonium) bisoxalatodi-n-butylstannate and bis(dicyclohexylammonium) μ-oxalatobis(aquadi-n-butyloxalatostannate)

Dicyclohexylamine, oxalic acid dihydrate and di-n-butyltin oxide were reacted in 2:2:1 or 2:3:2 stoichiometries in ethanol solution to yield, respectively bis(dicyclohexylammonium) bisoxalatodi-n-butylstannate (1) and bis(dicyclohexylammonium) μ-oxalatobis(aquadi-n-butyloxalatostannate) (2); the hydrate was also obtained upon recrystallization of 1 from moist acetonitrile solution. The crystal structures of the two ammonium stannates have been determined at room temperature. In 1, the tin atom in the dianion exists in a skewtrapezoidal bipyramidal geometry with the basal plane being defined by two bidentate oxalate ligands; each ligand forms asymmetric Sn? O bonds [Sn? O 2.348(4), 2.110(4) Å and 2.112(4), 2.363(4) Å]. The apical sites are occupied by the two organo groups disposed over the weaker Sn? O bonds. In 2, the two tin centres of the dianion are connected via a tetradentate oxalate ligand situated about a centre of inversion and each tin atom exists in a pentagonal bipyramidal geometry. The pentagonal plane is defined by four oxygen atoms, two from the central ligand [Sn? O 2.282(4), 2.473(4)Å] and two from a ‘terminal’ oxalate ligand [Sn? O 2.239(4), 2.210(4)Å], and the fifth site is occupied by a water molecule of crystallization [Sn? O 2.422(4)Å]; the apical sites are filled by the n-butyl groups. Both compounds feature extended hydrogen-bonded networks involving the oxygen atoms of the dianion and the N-bound hydrogen atoms. Crystals of 1 are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, with cell dimensions a = 13.408(3), b = 22.461(4), c = 13.996(2)Å, β = 100.97(2)^°; full-matrix least-squares refinement on 3305 reflections with I≥2.5σ(I) converged to R = 0.042 and R_w = 0.046. Crystals of 2 are monoclinic, space group P2₁/n, a = 13.729(3), b = 14.694(2), c = 14.889(2)Å, β = 104.83(2)^º; refinement on 2093 reflections converged to R = 0.030 and R_w = 0.031. The two di-n-butylstannates were screened in vitro against the mammary MCF-7 and WiDr colon carcinoma cell lines, and were found to be as active as cisplatin, a clinically used antineoplastic drug.     

Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and in vitro antitumour activity of di-n-butyltin and diethyltin trimethoxybenzoates: X-ray structure analysis of bis[di-n-butyl(3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoato)tin] oxide

Di-n-butyltin(IV) and diethyltin(IV) 2,3,4-, 2,4,5- and 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoates [(CH₃O)₃C₆H₂COO]₂SnR [Type a] and {[(CH₃O)₃C₆H₂COO]R₂Sn}₂O [Type b] have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. The crystal structure of bis[di-n-butyl(3,4,5- trimethoxybenzoato)tin] oxide has been determined. The triclinic unit cell contains one centrosymmetric dimer; a = 15.919(2) Å, b = 11.711(3) Å, c = 13.475(1) Å, and α = 63.63(2)°, β = 67.49(1)°, γ = 76.61(2)°. The geometry of the dimer is very similar to that of bis[di-n-butyl(5-methoxysalicylatotin] oxide), with two different types of five-coordinate tin atoms and one central planar Sn₂O₂ ring.     

o-Cyclohexadiamine complexes of some diorganotin,mono-organtotin and stannic carboxylates: Synthesis and spectral properties

o-Cyclohexadiamine (the base component of tetraplatin) adducts of Ph₂Sn(OCOCH₃)₂, nBu₂Sn(OCOH₃)₂, (PhCH₂)₂Sn(OCOCH₃)₂, PhSn(OCOCF₃)₃, BuSn(OCOCH₃)₃ and Sn(OCOCH₃)₄ have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopy. The compounds appear to be the first such adducts in their class.     

Alkylation of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole,and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole by polychloroalkanes and alkenes

Conclusions By alkylating 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, 2-mercaptobenzoxazole, and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole with 1,1,3-trichloropropene and 1,1,1, 5-tetrachloropentane, the authors obtained the corresponding chlorides, which were then hydrolyzed to carboxylic acids.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No.3, pp. 693–694, March, 1969.     

Synthesis,structure and biological activity of organotin derivatives with pyridylmethylthiobenzoic acid

Reaction of 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (1) with R₂SnO (R = Et or ⁿBu) in a 1:1 molar ratio gives the dimeric compounds {[(2-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)SnR₂]₂O}₂. A similar reaction of 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoic acid (2) with Et₂SnO yields an analogous result. However, treatment of 2 with ⁿBu₂SnO in a 1:1 molar ratio only gives the diorganotin dicarboxylate (4-PyCH₂SC₆H₄CO₂)₂Sn(ⁿBu)₂. X-ray crystal structure analyses indicate that the pyridyl nitrogen atoms do not coordinate to the tin atoms in the dimer, whilst in the diorganotin dicarboxylate the tin atom has a seven-coordinate distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, and this compound forms a linkage coordination polymer through the interactions of the pyridyl nitrogen atoms with the adjacent tin atoms. In addition, treatment of 1 or 2 with (Ph₃Sn)₂O in a 2:1 molar ratio affords triphenyltin carboxylates, in which the tin atoms also show different coordination environments. In the solid state, triphenyltin 2-(2-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate is a monomer and the pyridyl nitrogen atom does not participate in coordination to the tin atom either, while the interactions between the pyridyl nitrogen atoms and the adjacent tin atoms link triphenyltin 2-(4-pyridylmethylthio)benzoate into a coordination polymer. Preliminary in vitro tests for fungicidal activity show that all these compounds display good activity to Physolospora piricola in a low concentration. Moreover, the triphenyltin carboxylates show a higher inhibition percentage than the diorganotin carboxylates.     

Di-n-butyltin and diethyltin monofluorobenzoates: Synthesis,spectroscopic characterization and in vitro antitumor activity

The di-n-butyltin(IV) and diethyltin(IV) fluorobenzoates [FC₆H₄COO]₂SnR₂ and (FC₆H₄COOR₂Sn)₂O have been synthesized and characterized spectroscopically. Their in vitro antitumor activity against two human tumor cell lines, MCF-7, a mammary tumor, and WiDr, a colon carcinoma, as well as against the NCI cell panel, is satisfactory.     

Biocidal organotin compounds: Part 1. Preparation and characterization of triorganotin(IV) 4-pyridyl- and 2-pyrimidyl- thioacetates and the crystal structure of triphenyltin(2-pyrimidylthioacetate)

The preparation and spectroscopic characterization of [R₃Sn(O₂CCH₂SC₅H₄N-4)], R == Ph, benzyl (Bz), cyclohexyl (c-Hex) and n-Bu, and of [R₃Sn(O₂CCH₂SC₄H₃N₂-2,6)], R == Me, Ph and n-Bu, are reported. The 2-pyrimidyl compounds feature trigonal bipyramidal tin centres with trans-R₃SnO₂ geometries as was confirmed by X-ray crystallography for [Ph₃Sn(O₂CCH₂SC₄H₃N₂-2,6)]. ¶ By contrast the 4-pyridyl compounds have trigonal bipyramidal geometries in the solid state (arising from intermolecular Sn…N interaction) and tetrahedral geometries in solution. The biocidal activity of these compounds against the fungi Helminthosporium maydis (ITCC 2675) and H. oryzae (ITCC 2675), both of which damage crops such as maize and rice, shows promise. Encouraging is the observation that the compounds show no adverse phytotoxicity at concentrations to 10^?3M.
