Keywords: Alkynes / Boranes / Ferrocenes / NMR spectroscopy / Tin Ferrocenylethynyl(trimethyl)tin (1), bis(ferrocenylethynyl)dimethyltin (2), tetrakis(ferrocenylethynyl)tin (3), and chloro-(ferrocenylethynyl)dimethyltin (4) Sn NMR spectra were measured for 2 and 3, and the molecular structure of one of the modifications of 2 was determined by X-ray analysis. The reactivity of 1-4 towards triethylborane has been explored. 1,1-Organoboration takes place in all cases, and the reactions are stereoselective for 1 and 4 to give the alkenes 5 and 6, respectively, in which the stannyl and the boryl groups are in cis-positions at the C=C bond. In the case of 2, the final
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
