Synthesis of a-aminostannanes


Stannanes 6, 9, 1, and 4 were reported previously by us. [1] The methodology uses Katritzky's benzotriazole chemistry to prepare 14, 15, and 17. [2,3] Displacement of the benzotriazolyl group with tributylstannyllithium proceeded smoothly. Compounds 18 and 8 are new to this paper, but were prepared by the same method. Tsunoda, et al., have also prepared 8 by a different route. [ 4]
