Organometallic reactions. Part XVI. Trihalogenomethyltin compounds: their preparations, properties, and reactions

Abstract

Trialkyl(diethylamino)tin compounds react readily with halogenoforms to give the corresponding trialkyl(trihalogenomethyl)tins, R₃Sn·CX₃; these can then be reduced by trialkyltin hydrides or by lithium aluminium hydride to give the di- and mono-halogenomethyltin compounds, R₃Sn·CHX₂ and R₃Sn·CH₂X, respectively. Some properties and reactions of these products have been investigated.
