Synthesis and Transesterification of β‐Methoxycarbonyl‐β‐methylethyltin Trichloride Complexes with Benzylmethylsulfoxide

Abstract

The synthesis, crystal structure and transesterification reaction of the β‐methoxycarbonyl‐β‐methylethyltin trichloride complex with benzylmethylsulfoxide is reported and a possible mechanism for the transesterification is suggested. A series of complexes of β‐alkoxycarbonyl‐β‐methylethyltin trichloride with benzylmethyl sulfoxide have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR and ¹H NMR spectra.

Keywords:

• Alkyltin(IV) trichloride
• Transesterification
• Benzylmethylsulfoxide
• Crystal structure
• Orgaotin(IV) complex
