Abstract
AbstractInteraction of metallic salts (M = Hg, Sb, and Te) with bis(triorganotin)oxide, (R3Sn)2O, where (R = C6H5, p‐CH3C6H4, and cyclo‐C6H11) at room temperature proceeded with the simultaneous cleavage of the SnC and SnO bonds, invariably yielding R2SnO along with other products. Thus the treatment of HgX2 (X = Cl, CN, SCN) with (R3Sn)2O resulted in the formation of polymeric diorganotin oxide R2SnO along with R3SnX and RHgX derivatives. The reaction of SbCl3 with (R3Sn)2O was found to give R2SnO, R3SnCl, and RSbCl2, whereas interaction with SbCl5 provided R2SnO, R2SnCl2, and R2SbCl3. Treatment of TeCl4 with (R3Sn)2O provided R2SnO, R3SnCl, and RTeCl3 at room temperature. At reflux temperature, reaction of PhTeCl3 with (R3Sn)2O yielded R2SnO, R3SnCl, and mixed diorganotellurium dichloride, RPhTeCl2. The course of reaction indicated the instability of SnOSn system proceeding via a four‐centered mechanism, providing organometallic compounds in profitable yield. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
