Abstract

During the last decade, vinyl- and dienyltin derivatives have been extensively developed and used in organic synthesis. 1H NMR analysis of these compounds was the first analytical tool employed, together with 119Sn NMR, for the assignment of the E or Z stereochemistry of vinylstannyl derivatives. In this paper we want to show that 13C NMR is a powerful tool for structural analysis of vinyl- and dienyltin compounds. Chemical shifts and 13C-119-117Sn coupling constants are reported for several examples. In all cases described, the ³ J 13C - 119-117Sn values give the most definitive argument for structural assignment. ¹ J, ² J and ³ J 13C-119-117Sn coupling constants are also reported, along with the α, β, γ, and δ effects of the stannyl group. When the vinyltin function is functionalized with a heteroatomic substituant, some important changes occur in the chemical shifts and coupling constants. Some examples are given in the α-oxygen, -sulfur, -halogen, -silyl, and -tin substituted vinyltin series.

Practical information: in general the central 1H signal is associated with two satellites corresponding to both 119Sn and 117Sn isotopes (for J 1H-119,117Sn > 70.0-100.0 Hz) but when J 1H 119,117Sn < 70.0-100.0 Hz, the two pairs of satellites are unresolved and only one coupling constant can be measured.
