Abstract

Abstract A study of the syntheses and some properties of several methyl substituted acyclic and cyclic bidentate organotin Lewis acids has been carried out. Of particular interest were cyclic species with 7-, 8-, 9-and 10-membered rings. The distannaalkanes and distannacycloalkanes were converted to the chlorides by chlorodemethylation with tin chlorides or mercuric chloride; this reaction was accompanied by ring cleavage in some ...
