Tributyltins

The hydrogenolyaia of cyclopropane rings (C—C bond cleavage) has been described on p, 105. In syntheses of complex molecules reductive cleavage of alcohols, epoxides, and enol ethers of 5-keto esters are the most important examples, and some selectivity rules will be given. Primary alcohols are converted into tosylates much faster than secondary alcohols. The tosylate group is substituted by hydrogen upon treatment with LiAlH (W. Zorbach, 1961). Epoxides are also easily opened by LiAlH. The hydride ion attacks the less hindered carbon atom of the epoxide (H.B. Henhest, 1956). The reduction of sterically hindered enol ethers of 9-keto esters with lithium in ammonia leads to the a,/S-unsaturated ester and subsequently to the saturated ester in reasonable yields (R.M. Coates, 1970). Tributyltin hydride reduces halides to hydrocarbons stereoselectively in a free-radical chain reaction (L.W. Menapace, 1964) and reacts only slowly with C 0 and C—C double bonds (W.T. Brady, 1970 H.G. Kuivila, 1968). [Pg.114]

Tin enolates of ketones can be generated by the reaction of the enol acetate 733 with tributyltin methoxide[60i] and they react with alkenyl halides via transmetallation to give 734. This reaction offers a useful method for the introduction of an aryl or alkenyl group at the o-carbon of ketones[602]. Tin enolates are also generated by the reaction of siiyl enol ethers with tributyltin fluoride and used for coupling with halides[603]. [Pg.237]

Aldehydes take part in the cycloaddition to give the methylenetetrahydrofuran 178 by the co-catalysis of Pd and Sn compounds[115]. A similar product 180 is obtained by the reaction of the allyl acetate 179, which has a tributyltin group instead of a TMS group, with aldehydesfl 16]. The pyrrolidine derivative 182 is formed by the addition of the tosylimine 181 to 154[117]. [Pg.314]

Silyl ethers serve as preeursors of nucleophiles and liberate a nucleophilic alkoxide by desilylation with a chloride anion generated from CCI4 under the reaction conditions described before[124]. Rapid intramolecular stereoselective reaction of an alcohol with a vinyloxirane has been observed in dichloro-methane when an alkoxide is generated by desilylation of the silyl ether 340 with TBAF. The cis- and tru/u-pyranopyran systems 341 and 342 can be prepared selectively from the trans- and c/.y-epoxides 340, respectively. The reaction is applicable to the preparation of 1,2-diol systems[209]. The method is useful for the enantioselective synthesis of the AB ring fragment of gambier-toxin[210]. Similarly, tributyltin alkoxides as nucleophiles are used for the preparation of allyl alkyl ethers[211]. [Pg.336]

The /3,7-unsaturated aldehyde 407 is prepared in good yields by the carbo-nylation of an allylic chloride under mild conditions using tributyltin hydride as a hydride source[261]. Aldehydes are obtained in moderate yields by the reaction of CO and H2[262],... [Pg.344]

The allylstannane 474 is prepared by the reaction of allylic acetates or phosphates with tributyltin chloride and Sml2[286,308] or electroreduction[309]. Bu-iSnAlEt2 prepared in situ is used for the preparation of the allylstannane 475. These reactions correspond to inversion of an allyl cation to an allyl anion[3l0. 311], The reaction has been applied to the reductive cyclization of the alkenyl bromide in 476 with the allylic acetate to yield 477[312]. Intramolecular coupling of the allylic acetate in 478 with aryl bromide proceeds using BuiSnAlEti (479) by in situ formation of the allylstannane 480 and its reaction with the aryl bromide via transmetallation. (Another mechanistic possibility is the formation of an arylstannane and its coupling with allylic... [Pg.353]

Tributyltin hydride is used for hydrogenolysis of allylic esters[369-372]. [Pg.379]

For binder preparation, dilute hydrochloric or acetic acids are preferred, because these faciUtate formation of stable silanol condensation products. When more complete condensation or gelation is preferred, a wider range of catalysts, including moderately basic ones, is employed. These materials, which are often called hardeners or accelerators, include aqueous ammonia, ammonium carbonate, triethanolamine, calcium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, dicyclohexylamine, alcohoHc ammonium acetate, and tributyltin oxide (11,12). [Pg.38]

Ring Additions Catalyzed by Alkali Metals. The addition of tributyltin chloride and olefins such as styrene, isoprene, or butadiene to sulfolane is cataly2ed by alkah metals, including sodium and lithium, and by sodium amide (10—13). The addition of tributyltin chloride to sulfolane in the... [Pg.68]

Of the large volume of tin compounds reported in the Hterature, possibly only ca 100 are commercially important. The most commercially significant inorganic compounds include stannic chloride, stannic oxide, potassium staimate, sodium staimate, staimous chloride, stannous fluoride, stannous fluoroborate, stannous oxide, stannous pyrophosphate, stannous sulfate, stannous 2-ethyUiexanoate, and stannous oxalate. Also important are organotins of the dimethyl tin, dibutyltin, tributyltin, dioctyltin, triphenyl tin, and tricyclohexyltin families. [Pg.64]

Triorganotin compounds have also been used experimentally in controUed-release formulations to control the infective snail vector in the debiHtating tropical disease schistosomiasis (biHiarzia) and to control mosquitoes in stagnant ponds (103). As yet, the large-scale use of such methods has Htfle support in the host third world countries where these problems are most severe. Tributyltin chloride has been used to confer rodent-repeUent properties on wine and cable coatings (104). [Pg.71]

Yields are almost quantitative and product purity is good with formation of only minute amounts of mono- and tributyltin by-products. [Pg.72]

Methylation of avermectins B and B2 leads to the corresponding derivatives of the A series (49). A procedure involving the oxidation of the 5-methoxy group with mercuric acetate and NaBH reduction of the 5-keto-intermediate allows the conversion of the A to the B components (50). The 23-hydroxy group of the "2" components, after selective protection of the other secondary hydroxy groups, is converted to a thionocarbonate, which can be elirninated to give the 22,23-double bond of the "1" components alternatively it can be reduced with tributyltin hydride to the 22,23-dihydro derivatives (= ivermectins) (51).
