Abstract

Abstract The reactions of the organotin chlorides R n SnCl 4− n (R= Me or Ph;⩽ n⩽ 4) with the Lewis acids SbCl 5 and BCl 3 have been investigated by 119 Sn and (where appropriate) 11 B NMR spectroscopy. The results show that transfer of organo-groups to antimony or boron usually takes place rather than chloride abstraction to give cationic tin (IV) species, and this process is more facile for phenyl than methyl groups. These conclusions ...
