Synthesis of vinylstannanes

Recent Literature


Treatment of ketones with Bu3SnLi followed by addition of MsCl/Et3N to the resulting alkoxide provides vinylstannanes. Traces of Bu3SnH in the crude reaction products could be removed by stirring in CHCl3 with a catalytic amount of AIBN followed by filtration through silica gel.

Palladium-catalyzed hydrostannation of substituted Z- and E-enynols is controlled by the geometry of the double bond (Z- or syn-directing effect) rather than the nature of its substituents. Exclusively α-vinyl stannanes were obtained from Z-enynols having various substituents on the double bond regardless of their electronic, steric, or chelating natures.
