Jc. Meurice et al., Conformational investigations of ester-functionalized gem-distannyl derivatives by H-1-Sn-119 correlation NMR, ORGANOMETAL, 18(9), 1999, pp. 1699-1705
The conformational dependence on temperature and concentration of methyl 3,
3-bis(tributylstannyl)propionate compounds of the type (Bu3Sn)(2)CH-CHR-CO2
Me (R = H, 1; R = CH2CH=CH2, 2; R = CH2Ph, 3; R = CH2NMe2, 5) was studied b
y means of Karplus-type dihedral angle relations for (3)J(Sn-119-C-13) coup
lings from C-13 NMR spectra and (3)J(Sn-119-H-1) couplings from H-1-Sn-119
correlation NMR experiments, assisted by O-17 and Sn-119 NMR spectroscopy.
The results from these structural investigations point toward a dominant co
nformation in which a very weak tin-carbonyl oxygen Sn<--O=C-O interaction
is possible.
