Under irradiation, 1, 3-bis (diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-4-chlorobenzene (2), 1, 4-bis ( diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-3-chlorobenzene (3) and 1, 3-bis (diethoxyphosphoryloxy)-5- chlorobenzene (4) react with trimethyltinsodium (1) in liquid ammonia giving entirely different distribution of stannylated products. These differences are explained through theoretical DFT studies. Experimental evidence for the involvement of an SRN1 ...
