Organotin chemistry. Part IX. Functionally substituted metallostanoxanes

Abstract

Reactions similar to those already known between organotin halides or carboxylates and dialkyltin oxides have been established for derivatives of a number of other metals. New classes of functionally substituted metallostannoxanes R_nM·O·SnR₂′X (M = Hg, Tl, Si, Ge, and Pb) are described. The dichlorosilastannoxanes, ClR₂Si·O·SnR₂′Cl, appear to be intermediates in the reaction R₂SiCl₂+ R₂′SnO → ClR₂Si·O·SnR₂′Cl →(R₂SiO)_n+ R₂′SnCl₂
