Stannyl preparation

The ( )-vinylsilane 151 was prepared by treatment of the silylstannation product 150 with hydrogen iodide[75] and the silylzincation product with water[70]. The silylstannylation of 1-ethoxyacetylene proceeds at room temperature using Pd(OAc)i and 1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl isocyanide regioselec-tively and an Si group is introduced at the ethoxy-bearing carbon. Subsequent Cul- and Pd-catalyzed displacement of the stannyl group in the product 152 with allyl halide, followed by hvdrolvsis, affords the acylsilane 153[79],... 

Stannyl esters have been prepared to protect a —COOH group in the presence of an —NH2 group [(n-Bu3Sn)20 or -Bu3SnOH, reflux, 88%]. Stannyl esters... 

The carboranyl alcohol can also be prepared from the stannyl carborane and an aldehyde using Pd2(dba)3-CHCl3/dppe. The carborane is stable to Brpnsted and Lewis acids and to LiAlH.. 

Stannyl esters have been prepared to protect a -COOH group in the presence of an -NH2 group [( -Bu3Sn)20 or -Bu3SnOH, CgH, reflux, 88%]. Stannyl esters of A -acylamino acids are stable to reaction with anhydrous amines and to water and alcohols aqueous amines convert them to ammonium salts. Stannyl esters of amino acids are cleaved in quantitative yield by water or alcohols (PhSK, DMF, 25°, 15 min, 63% yield or HOAc, EtOH, 25°, 30 min, 77% yield). ... 

The Boekelheide reaction has been applied to the synthesis of non-natural products with the preparation of quaterpyridines serving as an example. The sequence began with the 2,4-linked bipyridyl-N-oxide 25. Execution under the typical reaction conditions produced the expected bis-pyridone 26. Treatment with POCI3 afforded the corresponding dichloride that was submitted to a palladium-catalyzed coupling with 2-stannyl pyridine to produce the desired quaterpyridine 27. 

Cyanamide can be stannylated under various conditions to give bis(stannyl)carbodiimides (224-227), and bis(stannyl)sulfurdiimides have been prepared from the reaction between S4N4 and trimethyldi-methylaminotin (228). 

The regiochemistry of the hydrozirconation of disubstituted stannyl- [24, 167-170] and silyl- [171] acetylenes and boron- [118, 172-175] and zinc- [34, 126] alkynyl derivatives result in the formation of 1,1-dimetallo compounds. Hydrozirconation of alkynyliodonium salts affords alkenylchlorozirconocenes with the Zr-C bond geminal to the iodonium moiety [176]. These zirconocene complexes allowed the preparation of ( )-trisubstituted olefins (Scheme 8-20). 

Germyl, Stannyl, and Plumbyl Anions The preparative methods for the synthesis of the germyl, stannyl, and plumbyl anions are essentially the same as those mentioned above for the silyl anions. The most widely used methods are (1) reduction of halides R3EX (R = alkyl, aryl E = Ge, Sn, Pb X = Cl, Br) with alkali metals and (2) reductive cleavage of the E-E bond of R3E-ER3 (R = alkyl, aryl E = Ge, Sn, Pb) with alkali metals or organolithium reagents. Due to the favorable polarization of the (E = Ge, Sn, Pb) bond, the direct metalation... 

The reduction of the stannyl radical (t-Bu2MeSi)3Sn with alkali metals produces a variety of structural modifications depending on the solvent used (Scheme 2.55). Thus, in nonpolar heptane, a dimeric stannyllithium species [58c Li ]2 (E = Sn) was formed, whereas in more polar benzene, the monomeric pyramidal structure 58c [Ti -Li (C6H5)] was produced. In the latter compound the Li+ ion was covalently bonded to the anionic Sn atom being at the same time n -coordinated to the benzene ring. A similar monomeric pyramidal CIP 58c [Li (thf)2] was prepared by reduction in polar THE the addition of [2.2.2]cryptand to this compound resulted in the isolation of the free stannyl anion 58c K+([2.2.2]cryptand), in which the ion lacked its bonding to the Sn atom. ... 

Previous syntheses An example of this point can be recognized by examination of one known synthesis of thienobenzazepines (Scheme 6.1). This synthetic route involves a key palladinm-catalyzed cross-conpling of stannyl intermediate 3, prepared by method of Gronowitz et al., with 2-nitrobenzyl bromide. Acetal deprotection and reductive cyclization afforded the desired thienobenzazepine tricycle 4. In support of structure activity relationship studies, this intermediate was conveniently acylated with varions acyl chlorides to yield several biologically active componnds of structure type 5. While this synthetic approach does access intermediate 4 in relatively few synthetic transformations for stractnre activity relationship studies, this route is seemingly nnattractive for preparative scale requiring stoichiometric amounts of potentially toxic metals that are generally difficult to remove and present costly purification problems at the end of the synthesis. 

There is a discussion of some of the sources of radicals for mechanistic studies in Section 11.1.4 of Part A. Some of the reactions discussed there, particularly the use of azo compounds and peroxides as initiators, are also important in synthetic chemistry. One of the most useful sources of free radicals in preparative chemistry is the reaction of halides with stannyl radicals. Stannanes undergo hydrogen abstraction reactions and the stannyl radical can then abstract halogen from the alkyl group. For example, net addition of an alkyl group to a reactive double bond can follow halogen abstraction by a stannyl radical. 

The preparative potential of silyl- or stannyl-substituted polynuclear complexes is currently far from being exploited. Due to the reactivity of silyl ligands, selective cleavage of metal-silicon bonds is possible. In some cases this was observed during the reaction of an anionic silyl complex with metal... 

Oligomer 113 has been prepared in a Stille cross-coupling of 2-iodo-3-hexylthiophene 111 and bis(thrimethyl-stannyl) DTT 112 which was prepared by lithiation of the dibromide 97 followed by stannylation (Scheme 5) <2002CC2424>. 

In the first systematic study on nucleophilic substitutions of chiral halides by Group IV metal anions, Jensen and Davis showed that (S )-2-bromobutane is converted to the (R)-2-triphenylmetal product with predominant inversion at the carbon center (Table 5)37. Replacement of the phenyl substituents by alkyl groups was possible through sequential brominolysis and reaction of the derived stannyl bromides with a Grignard reagent (equation 16). Subsequently, Pereyre and coworkers employed the foregoing Grignard sequence to prepare several trialkyl(s-butyl)stannanes (equation 17)38. They also developed an alternative synthesis of more hindered trialkyl derivatives (equation 18).

Stereoselective 1,4-addition of the tin-boron bond to 1,3-diene occurs in the presence of a palladium catalyst, which is prepared in situ from Pd(dba)2 and ETPO, at 80 °C in THF to give (Z)-l-boryl-4-stannyl-2-butenes (Equation (102)).249 For unsymmetrical 1,3-diene like isoprene, highly regioselective 1,4-stannaboration is observed. 

Although the stannylated pyrroles are normally obtained via lithiation, two other methods to prepare these Stille precursors have been devised. Caddick has found that the addition of tri-n-butylstannyl radical to pyrrole 82 affords stannylpyrrole 83 in good yield [68],... 

The Pd-catalyzed cross coupling reaction of 3-stannylated pyrroles is also known. Muchowski has thus prepared and utilized 96 to effect Stille couplings leading to 97 [59].
