A USEFUL METHOD IN ORGANOTIN CHEMISTRY - DIIMINE HYDROGENATION OF 1,2-BIS(TRIMETHYLSTANNYL)-1-ALKENES, 1-TRIMETHYLSILYL-2-TRIMETHYLSTANNYL-1-ALKENES AND SOME DISTANNACYCLOPENTENES
Tn. Mitchell et B. Kowall, A USEFUL METHOD IN ORGANOTIN CHEMISTRY - DIIMINE HYDROGENATION OF 1,2-BIS(TRIMETHYLSTANNYL)-1-ALKENES, 1-TRIMETHYLSILYL-2-TRIMETHYLSTANNYL-1-ALKENES AND SOME DISTANNACYCLOPENTENES, Journal of organometallic chemistry, 481(1), 1994, pp. 137-142
The title compounds can be readily hydrogenated by diimine produced in
situ from commercial 80% hydrazine hydrate, 30% hydrogen peroxide and
a 1% copper sulphate solution. Replacement of the methyl groups on ti
n by butyl groups causes the consumption of the alkene to fall dramati
cally under standard reaction conditions.
