Abstract

Abstract: Fluoride ions smoothly destannylate organotin chalcogenides to liberate nucleophilic chalcogenide ions; hence the first nucleophilic oxide (02-) and selenide (Se2-) transfer agents are reported where the tin atom serves as a “group 16 (VIB) transfer agent”. In the presence of crown ethers or ammonium salts, this process results in a new way to generate “naked” nucleophiles. Ethers and selenides are formed in good to excellent yield ...
