STERIC EFFECTS IN NEOPHILTIN(IV) CHEMISTRY
Lockhart, Thomas P.

The stability and self-association in solution of (neophyl3Sn)2O, neophyl3SnOH, and (neophyl3Sn)2CO3 (neophyl = C6H5(CH3)2CCH2) have been examined by 119Sn NMR.The presence of Sn,Sn spin coupling through oxygen (2J(119Sn,117Sn)) has been used to distinguish between the distannoxane and stannol.Facile dehydration prevents the isolation of neophyl3SnOH from solution at room temperature and the equilibrium constant for H2O + (neophyl3Sn)2O 2neophyl3SnOH is 0.3 at 304 K.These observations are in sharp contrast with a previous report that the sterically bulky neophyl ligands render neophyl3SnOH stable toward dehydration. 1J(119Sn,13C) observed for neophyl3SnOH and (neophyl3Sn)2CO3 indicates that these compounds, unlike their n-alkyl-substituted homologues, are unassociated in solution, a result attributed to the steric bulk of the neophyl ligand.
