Organotin reagent

The ketimine 736 is prepared by the reaction of the imidoyl chloride 735 with organotin reagents[604,605]. 

Various organotin reagents react with acyl and aroyl halides under mild conditions without decarbonylation to give carbonyl compounds[390,39l]. Alkyl- or alkenyltin reagents react with acyl and aroyl chlorides to give ketones[548.733,734]. One example is the preparation of the a,/3-dnsaturated 7-keto esters 860 and 861, carried out under a CO atmosphere[735]. The reaction has been applied intramolecularly to the synthesis of the macrocyclic keto... 

The ester 870 is prepared by the cross-coupling of the chloroformate 869 with an organotin reagent. Some chloroformates are easily decomposed by a Pd catalyst, and hence the reaction should be carried out by slow addition of the chloroformates. Similarly, the amide 872 is prepared by the reaction of the carbamoyl chloride 871 [742]. The coupling of alkylcopper with ethyl chloroformate catalyzed by Pd affords esters[743]. 

Organotin reagents and intermediates are finding increasing use in organic syntheses. ... 

Intramolecular Pd(0)-catalyzed Stille reaction of organotin reagents with electrophiles leading to C—C a-bond formation in synthesis of heterocycles, particularly, macrocyclic lactones 99JCS(P1)1235. 

In the direct coupling reaction (Scheme 30), it is presumed that a coordinatively unsaturated 14-electron palladium(o) complex such as bis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(o) serves as the catalytically active species. An oxidative addition of the organic electrophile, RX, to the palladium catalyst generates a 16-electron palladium(n) complex A, which then participates in a transmetalation with the organotin reagent (see A—>B). After facile trans- cis isomerization (see B— C), a reductive elimination releases the primary organic product D and regenerates the catalytically active palladium ) complex. 

Organotins. The organotin reagents have much lower nucleophilicity than that of the Grignard reagents, thus allowing the use of a variety of functionalized monomers for the polymerization. Aryl-alkenyl iodides, bromides and tosylates have been used as substrates. Palladium complexes are commonly employed as catalysts for the reaction. Because the catalysts can be destroyed... 

Stannyl derivatives of 2ff-pyran-2-one, accessible from bromopyranones by cross coupling with organotin reagents, themselves take part in Pd(0)-catalyscd cross coupling with enol triflates. This methodology offers a new approach to steroidal pyran-2-ones <96JOC6693>. 

The glass components of the apparatus are immersed in a solution of 19.8 g of potassium hydroxide in 20 mL of water and 88 mL of ethanol for 20 min, dried overnight in a 150°C oven, and then assembled and maintained under an atmosphere of argon during the course of the reaction. This procedure removes traces of materials that otherwise can catalyze decomposition of the organotin reagents employed in the reaction. 

Compared to the previously described transition metal-catalyzed transformations in this chapter, microwave-assisted Stille reactions [74] involving organotin reagents as coupling partners are comparatively rare. A few examples describing both inter- and intramolecular Stille reactions in heterocyclic systems are summarized in Scheme 6.38 [47, 75-77]. Additional examples involving fluorous Stille reactions are described in Section 7.3. 

In comparison with the photochemistry of organosilicon compounds, the photochemistry of organometallic compounds of the heavier Group 14 elements has received little attention. In recent years, however, a number of synthetically useful photoreactions of such species have been developed, and it would seem opportune to review this area of research. In particular, organogermanium and organotin reagents are becoming... 

Halogenated pyrroles can serve as the aryl halide in Stille couplings with organotin reagents. Scott has used this idea to prepare a series of 3-vinylpyrroles, which are important building blocks for the synthesis of vinyl-porphyrins, bile pigments, and indoles [77]. Although 3-chloro-and 3-bromopyrroles fail completely or fared poorly in this chemistry, 3-iodopyrroles 101 work extremely well to yield 3-vinylpyrroles 102.
