O,O'-Bistributyltin Benzopinacolate (1,1,2,2-Tetraphenylethane-1,2-bisolate) as Thermal Source of Tributylstannyl Radicals

Article abstract of DOI:10.1039/c39930001407

The previously unknown bistributyltin benzopinacolate was prepared by photolysis of benzophenone in the presence of bistributyltin and used for thermal formation of aryl radicals that undergo subsequent intramolecular addition to an imine bond in an ortho-substituent.
