Ma. Chaubon et al., FIRST CHARACTERIZATION OF A COMPOUND WITH A TIN-GERMANIUM DOUBLE-BOND- THE DIMESITYL(DIISITYLSTANNA)GERMENE (IS)(2)SN=GE(MES)(2), Chemical communications, (23), 1996, pp. 2621-2622
The dimesityl(diisitylstanna)germene 4 [isityl (Is) = 2,4,6-triisoprop
ylphenyl] is synthesized by dehydrofluorination of the corresponding (
fluorostannyl)germane 1 by tert-butyl-lithium at low temperature; its
structure is evidenced at -20 degrees C by Sn-119 NMR spectroscopy (de
lta + 360), by addition of water and methanol to the tin-germanium dou
ble bond and by a [2 + 2] cycloaddition with benzaldehyde; warming the
stannagermene 4 to room temperature affords the dimesityl(tetraisityl
distanna)germirane 8.
