Direct synthesis of the Janus-head ligand (MePy)3Sn–Sn(MePy)3 using an unusual pyridyl-transfer reaction (MePy = 6-methyl-2-pyridyl)

Abstract

The in situ reaction of the tripodal anion [EtAl(MePy)3] (MePy = 6-Me-2-py) with SnCl2 gives the Janus-head ligand (MePy)3Sn–Sn(MePy)3, containing a Sn–Sn bond, through a novel, one-pot reaction involving a combination of pyridyl transfer and metal-oxidation.
