One-step synthesis of the chelate oxides of bis(trialkylantimony) by an oxidative method

The chelate oxides of bis(trimethylantimony) (Me₃SbL¹)₂O (i = 1 or 2, L¹-acetylacetonate, L² - trifluoroacetylacetonate) and bis(triethylantimony) (Et₃SbL¹)₂O have been obtained in 79–85% yields by a one-step oxidation of trialkylantimony withtertbutylhydroperoxide in the presence of -diketones in benzene at 20 °C.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.
