Some addition reactions of N-tributylstannyldiphenylmethyleneamine

Abstract

N-Tributylstannyldiphenylmethyleneamine reacts with the multiply bonded reagents isocyanates, isothiocyanates, aldehydes, ketones, acrylonitrile, di-α-naphthylcarbodi-imide, N-phenylsulphinylamine, sulphur dioxide, trichloroacetonitrile, carbon disulphide, and carbonyl sulphide to form 11 new classes of organotinamino-derivatives. Many of the adducts are readily hydrolysed to the hitherto unreported protic compounds, which have also been synthesised from reaction between diphenylmethyleneamine and the acceptor reagent The addition of chloral to the aldehyde adducts results in the elimination of aldehyde and the formation of the chloral adduct; except in the case of the bromal adduct, where further addition takes place. Addition also appears to take place with iso(thio)cyanates; equilibria being established in some cases.
