The title compound, 3-dioxan-5-yl]ethanediamide(2-)}bis(triphenyltin),
[Sn-2(C6H5)(6)(C26H3ON2O8)], was isolated from the products of the (t
riphenylstannyl)methylation of a 1:1 mixture of stereoisomers of roxym
ethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)ethanediamide. The molecule lies about
an inversion centre and the unique Sn atom has distorted tetrahedral g
eometry, with Sn-C-alkyl and Sn-C-aryl distances of 2.154 (2) and 2.13
8 (2)-2.147 (3) Angstrom, respectively, and C-Sn-C angles in the range
105.5 (1)-113.2 (1)degrees.
