The photochemical 1, 3-stannyl rearrangement of allylic stannanes has been investigated. The photorearrangement of (E)-cinnamyl (triphenyl) stannane is not observed in benzene under anaerobic conditions, while the photoinduced 1, 3-stannyl migration takes place in the same solvent under aerobic conditions, or in the presence of organic halides or a radical- trapping agent to give a photoequilibrium mixture of the cinnamylstannane and its ...
