Tributylstannane → HCID 12786209, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A stirred mixture of 6.66 g of 4-trifluoromethyl-4-trimethylsiloxy-1-octyne and 26 mg. of azabisisobutyronitrile, under argon, is treated with 6.95 ml. of tri-n-butyl tin hydride, via a syringe. After treatment, a condenser is attached to the reaction vessel and the reaction mixture, under argon, is slowly heated to 130°-135° C. and maintained at that temperature for 1.5 hours. Subsequent fractional distillation of the reaction mixture at approximately 0.07 mm pressure gives the desired product, b.p. 125°-135° C. (containing a minor amount of the corresponding cis isomer).
