Tributyltin Chloride → HCID 11057369, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of n-butyllithium (2.5M in hexanes, 159 mL, 0.398 mol) in THF (800 mL) at −10° C. under nitrogen, add 5-chloropentyne (20 g, 0.195 mol) dropwise, keeping the temperature below 10° C. After the addition is complete, allow the reaction to warm to room temperature and stir for 6 hours, then add tributyltin chloride (70 g, 0.215 mol) and stir overnight. Pour the reaction mixture into hexanes (500 mL), wash with saturated sodium bicarbonate (300 mL) and brine (300 mL), dry with sodium sulfate, filter, and concentrate to afford the title compound (70 g, 100%) which can be used without further purification: mass spectrum (m/e): 357 (M+H+); 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 1.70-1.49 (m, 6H), 1.49-1.24 (m, 7H), 1.10-0.65 (m, 19H).
