Preparation of some organotin compounds containing methylthio, phenylthio, and pentafluoro-phenylthio groups

Abstract

The new compounds n-Bu₃SnSR, n-Bu₂Sn(SR)₂, where R = Me, Ph, or C₆F₅, and Ph₃SnSC₆F₅ have been prepared and characterized. The fracture of the Sn—S bond with iodine has been examined and affords a quantitative method for analysis of compounds containing a Sn—S bond. The ¹H and ¹⁹F n.m.r. have been studied; frequencies characteristic of the C₆F₅S— group in the infrared spectra have been tabulated.
