5.2.24.10 Arylstannanes (Update 2021)

Abstract

AbstractThis chapter is an update to the earlier Science of Synthesis contribution describing methods for the synthesis and uses of arylstannanes. The focus is on the literature published in the period 2001–2020. Novel synthetic methods for the formation of the target compounds are reviewed, including reactions of aryl anions with aryltin halides, reactions of diazonium salts or aryl azo sulfones with distannanes, and various catalyzed processes. The use of arylstannanes as substrates in organic chemistry and radiochemistry is also discussed; these compounds can undergo coupling reactions, destannylations, metal–tin exchange reactions, electrophilic substitutions, and oxidative addition processes.
