Hexamethylditin

DescriptionIt has been generally used as raw materials for producing other compounds in organic synthesis. For example, it can react with 1,3-dienes highly regioand stereo-selectively in the presence of a catalytic amount of bis(dibenzylideneacetone)palladium to afford dimerization-double-stannation adducts in high yields.1 The synthesis of allytrimethylstannanes with high yields was demonstrated by reaction of hexamethyldistanne with a broad range of allylic compounds including allyl acetates and allyl halides in the presence of palladium complexes.2 By using this product, the direct stannylation of halopyridines and bipyridines can be accomplished by Pd catalysis.3 Besides, the addition of hexamethyldistannane to 1-alkynes was shown to yield the (Z)-1,2-Bis(Trimethylstannyl)-1-Alkenes in the presence of Pd complex.4

UsesAgricultural chemical.

UsesIt is used to prepare aryl tin compounds for microwave-assisted Stille cross-coupling with halo pyridines or copper-mediated O-arylation of phenols.
