A. Meetsma et al., AN UNEXPECTED TRIMETHYLSTANNYLPYRROLE FROM A STANNYLATED DERIVATIVE OF TOSYLMETHYL ISOCYANIDE (TOSMIC) AND CHALCONE, Acta crystallographica. Section C, Crystal structure communications, 52, 1996, pp. 2747-2750
The structure of the title compound, tert-butyl 3-benzoyl-4-phenyl-2-
(trimethylstannyl)pyrrole-N-carboxylate, [Sn(CH3)(3)(C22H20NO3)], is o
ne of the first in which the stannyl group is attached to a C atom of
the pyrrole ring, There appears to be an intramolecular interaction be
tween the Sn atom and the carbonyl O atoms of both the benzoyl and the
tert-butoxycarbonyl substituents. The compound was prepared by a base
-induced cycloaddition of a stannylated derivative of tosylmethyl isoc
yanide to chalcone.
