- 1,4-Dilithio-1,3-butadlenes
-
On treatment with (trimethylstannyl)lithium in THF at -78°C, 1,4-dichlorobutadienes (4) gave the stereoisomeric 1,4-bis(trimethylstannyl)-1,3-butadienes (5-7). Compounds 5 and 7 may be converted to the corresponding 1,4-dilithio-1,3-butadienes (1 and 3) by treatment with excess methyllithium, while 6 and 7 may be converted to 1 by reaction with 1 equiv of methyllithium.

- α-METALLATED VINYL CARBONIONIDS. II. PREPARATION AND STABILITY OF VINYLLITHIUMS CONTAINING TRIORGANOSTANNYL GROUPS ON THE α-CARBON ATOM
-
The influence of intramolecular coordination and solvent effects on the formation and stability of α-stannylvinyllithium reagents RR'C=C(Li)SnMe3 (R'=H, alkyl aryl) has been investigated; intramolecular coordination via a 5-membered ring is particularly effective.Mechanisms for the isomerisation and thermal decomposition of RR'C=C(Li)SnMe3 are discussed, and multinuclear NMR data (119Sn, 13C and 1H) for these species are presented.

- Reactions of organotin hydrides with lithium diisopropylamide and organolithiums. Reactivities of the intermediates and of the lithium hydride produced
-
Equimolar lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) and trimethyltin hydride (TMTH) react in tetrahydrofuran (THF) to form diisopropylamine and (trimethylstannyl)lithium, but in diethyl ether or hexanes 2 mol of TMTH is required for complete reaction and the products are diisopropylamine, hexamethylditin, and lithium hydride. When organic halides are present in this reacting system, reduction to alkane or substitution to form the trimethylalkyltin may occur depending on the nature of the halide. These and other observations suggest that (trimethylstannyl)lithium is formed as an intermediate yielding the tetraalkyltin. Studies on the products and stoichiometries of the reductions of alkyl bromides in ether and hexanes suggest that three reducing agents may be involved: TMTH, [Me3Sn(H)N-i-Pr2]-, and [Me3SnSn(H)Me3]-. The latter predominates in ether, and either or both of the others predominate in hexanes. Formation of methylcyclopentane from 1-bromo-5-hexene suggests involvement of a free radical mechanism. When methyllithium is used instead of LDA in the reaction with TMTH, the products are tetramethyltin and lithium hydride. This reaction can also be diverted to reduction by the presence of primary bromides. Aryl bromides react in both systems, but the yields of either substitution or reduction products are low. The lithium hydride formed in these reactions is extremely reactive as a base as shown by a brief study of its reaction with weak carbon acids and amines and as a nucleophile by its reaction with hexamethylditin to form (trimethylstannyl)lithium in THF.

- Metall-Bor-Verbindungen, 13. Zur Synthese und Reaktivitaet einiger (Trimethylstannyl)borane
-
The preparation of some amino(trimethylstannyl)boranes and their chemical properties are described.With Me3SnLi (Me = CH3) as a reagent only the synthesis of Me3SnB(NR2)2 (1a, b), Me3SnBCl(NR2) (2a, b), and (Me3Sn)2BNR2 (3b) was achieved.The stannylboranes Me3SnB(NR2)2 show astonishing thermal stability.Their Sn - B bonds are broken by hydrogen, the halogens, and chalcogens as well as by alcohols.HCl cleaves the B - N bond.
