The reactivity of Stille coupling reagent
« on: January 07, 2021, 01:31:16 AM »
I am a Japanese university student studying organic chemistry.

Stille coupling uses organotin compounds (e.g. ArSnR3). Among them, reagents with R=Me and n-Bu are used.

What are the differences in reactivity due to steric or electronic factors?
Also, which reagent is more reactive, R=Me or n-Bu?

I hope you can answer my questions.

IIRC, the trimethyltin reagents are more reactive compared to tributyltin but are also about 100 times more toxic. I was working with those once and read a review which showed numbers and the toxicity was not as high as I thought but still something to consider carefully
