Abstract

A transition metal free stannylation reaction of alkyl bromides and iodides with hexamethyldistannane has been developed. This protocol is operationally convenient and features a rapid reaction and good functional group tolerance. A wide range of functionalized primary and secondary alkyl and benzyl trimethyl stannanes are prepared in moderate to excellent yields. The success of the gram-scale procedure and tandem Stille coupling reaction has allowed this protocol to demonstrate potential for application in organic synthesis. Both experimental and theoretical studies reveal the mechanistic details of this stannylation reaction.
