The title compound, μ-{N,N′-bis[trans-5-(methoxymethyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl] ethanediamide(2-)}-bis(triphenyltin), [Sn₂(C₆H₅)₆(C₂₆H ₃₀N₂O₈)], was isolated from the products of the (triphenylstannyl)-methylation of a 1:1 mixture of stereoisomers of N,N′-bis(5-hydroxymethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)ethanediamide. The molecule lies about an inversion centre and the unique Sn atom has distorted tetrahedral geometry, with Sn-C_alkyl and Sn-C_aryl distances of 2.154(2) and 2.138(2)-2.147 (3) A, respectively, and C-Sn-C angles in the range 105.5 (1)-113.2(1)°.
