Organotin cyanides

The reactions with hydrogen cyanide, hydrazoic acid, phosphines, and arsines (Section 16.5) have been used as routes to the organotin cyanides, azides, phosphines and arsines, respectively. Examples are given in the following equations.29... 

Alkali metal boratabenzenes have a wide synthetic applicability just like alkali metal cyclopentadienides. Two syntheses have been developed Ashe s synthesis via organotin intermediates (23) and our cyanide degradation of bis (boratabenzene) cobalt complexes (61). 

Precaution May undergo uncontrolled exothermic trimerization, polymerization upon contact with incompat. materials, such as trialkyl phosphines, triphenylarsenic, potassium acetate and many metal compds., such as organotin compds. or if heated Hazardous Decomp. Prods. Heated to decomp, emits CO, CO2, NOx, hydrogen cyanide Storage Probably self-reacts at elevated temp. reacts with water... 

This chapter comprises organotin compounds having a pseudohalogen group linked to tin. Aside from (iso)cyanides, (iso)cyanates (iso)thiocyanates and azides reported in the Main Volume, a number of novel derivatives are added. These include (iso)selenocyanate-NCSe, fulminate-CN 0 and N-derivatives of dicyanamide-N(CN)2 and tricyanomethane-N C C(CN)2 The compounds listed in Tables 158 and 159 are prepared by the following methods.
