Abstract
Some methods for preparing bis(triphenylstannyl)carbodiimide (I), N-(triphenylstannyl)- N′-tritylcarbodiimide (II), and (triphenylstannyl)cyanamide are described. (I) was found to react with 1,3-disubstituted thioureas in refluxing acetonitrile or toluene to give bis(triphenyltin) sulfide and the corresponding N,N′-disubstituted- N″-cyanoguanidine. Some evidence for a diorganocarbodiimide intermediate in this reaction was found. The reaction of(I) with thiourea in refluxing acetonitrile was found to give bis(triphenyltin) sulfide,(triphenylstannyl)cyanamide and unchanged thiourea. The reaction of (I) with cyanamide gave (triphenylstannyl)cyanamide. (Triphenylstannyl)cyanamide was found to react with bis(triphenyltin) oxide in refluxing acetonitrile to give (I). (Triphenylstannyl)cyanamide was found to disproportionate in refluxing benzene to give (I) and dicyandiamide. (II) was found to be more hydrolytically stable than (I). The SnN bonds in both (I) and (II) were found to be readily cleaved by acetic acid. It was found that triphenyltin iodide and triphenyltin chloride can be conveniently prepared in good yield by the reaction of bis(triphenyltin) oxide with either calcium iodide or calcium chloride in refiuxing acetonitrile.
