Giving Hydrides of Tin

Raasch has extended his studies of the reactivity of bis(trifluoro-methyl)thioketen (141). Scheme 8 gives a survey of the reactions that have been carried out. Thus common nucleophilic agents such as alcohols, thiols, primary, and secondary amines, etc., react with (141) with conservation of the C=S double bond, whereas the C==C double bond remains in the products of the reactions of (141) with certain ethers, dimethylaniline, and hydrides of tin and silicon. Compound (141) reacted with a variety of olehnic substances in accordance with the general ene-reaction formalism, yielding allyl vinyl sulphides (148). The formation... 

The nucleophilic displacement reactions with azide, primary amines, thiols and carboxylatc salts arc reported to be highly efficient giving high (>95%) yields of the displacement product (Table 9.25). The latter two reactions are carried out in the presence of a base (DBU, DABCO). Radical-induced reduction with tin hydrides is quantitative. The displacement reaction with phenolates,61j phosphines,6M and potassium phthalimide608 gives elimination of HBr as a side reaction. 

Reaction of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with IVJV-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal followed by malonamide in the presence of sodium hydride gives 5,6-disubstituted 1,2-dihydro-2-oxopyridine-3-carboxamides, whereas reaction of the intermediate enamines with cyanothioacetamide or cyanoacetamide in the presence of piperidine provides 2-thioxopyridine-3-carboxamides and 4,5-disubstituted l,2-dihydro-2-oxopyridine-3-carboxamides, respectively <95S923>. P-Enaminonitriles 14 react with p-ketoesters and alkyl malonates, in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of tin(IV) chloride, to afford 4-aminopyiidines 15 and 4-amino-2-pyridones 16 <95T(51)12277>. 

Homer-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions of ketones and aldehydes with phosphono-acetate esters, (R20)2P(=0)CH2C02R1, produce E/Z mixtures of a, /Tunsaturated esters. Use of the conventional reagent, sodium hydride, gives some selectivity. The combination of tin(II) triflate and A -cthylpipcndine enhances—and sometimes also reverses—the selectivity in most cases studied.71 Six-membered oxo-coordinated tin intermediates are proposed to control the selectivities observed. A similarly selective synthesis of trisubstituted exocyclic alkenes from cyclic ketones has been reported.72... 

The substituents on the tin center can be easily modified by this system, giving new type of tin enolates in situ. Organotin iodide hydride (Bu2SnIH) selectively reduces conjugated enones in the presence of aldehydes at ambient temperature, giving dibutyliodotin enolates. A subsequent aldol reaction proceeds with. qw-selectivity (Equation (80)). 

Additions across P—H, S—H, Si—HandSn—Hbonds. Compounds with P—H bonds such as dialkyl phosphites " diphenylphosphine and tetrasubstituted phospho-ranes" react with [l.l.l]propellane, giving series of oligomers, or only monomeric products Reagents with S—H bonds (thiophenof and thiolacetic acid ) yield only monomeric products. Silicon and tin hydrides also react with neat propellanes to give monomeric products. The latter react much faster than the former.
