Abstract
SUMMARY
The reactions of dibutyltin dichloride and dibenzyltin dichloride with sodium azide, sodium p-toluenesulfonate and silver trifluoromethanesulfonate have been investigated. The products of these reactions include the expected dialkyltin azides and p-toluenesulfonates. In the reactions involving silver trifluoromethanesulfonate, the dialkyltin dichlorides gave only the 1,1,3,3-tetraalkyl-1,3-bis (trifluoromethanesulfonato)- distannoxanes. Other distannoxanes containing the azide and trifluoromethanesulfonato groups attached to tin were also prepared. The infrared spectra and the conductivity characteristics of these compounds are discussed.
