After the solution was cooled to −78° C. using an isopropanol/dry ice bath, t-BuLi (100 mL, 170 mmol) was transferred by cannula to the addition funnel. The organolithium reagent was then added dropwise. After completion of the addition, the mixture was stirred for 20 min at −78° C. then warmed up with an isopropanol bath at room temperature for 30 minutes during which a yellow precipitate formed. The solution was cooled back at −78° C., and after cannula transfer to the addition funnel, trimethyltin chloride (200 mL of 1 M solution in THF, 200 mmol) was added dropwise. During addition of trimethyltin chloride, the precipitate disappeared and the solution turned light brown. After warming to room temperature the solution was stirred for 30 minutes then was poured into ice-cold water. The aqueous phase was further extracted with hexane. The combined organic phase were washed with cold water then dried with magnesium sulfate. After filtration, the solvent is evaporated under vacuum to yield a grey-brown solid. The product was purified by precipitation of a chloroform solution into methanol followed by filtration (13.2 g, 53%).
