E)-2-(chlorodimethylstannyl)-3-diethylboryl-pent-2-ene 1 reacts with methylbis(trimethylstannyl)amine and tris(trimethylstannyl)amine to give the new 2,5-dihydro-1-azonia-2-stanna-5-boratoles 3 and 4, respectively, of which 4 rearranges irreversibly into the 1-aza-2-stanna-5-bora-cyclopentane derivative 5. The reaction of 1 with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphide affords the 2,5-dihydro-1-phosphonia-2-stanna-5-boratole 8 which is fluxional with respect to the coordinative P-B bond. In a similar way, the reaction of 1 with lithium diphenylphosphide gives the analogous derivative 9 which however, posseses a strong coordinative P-B bond. Compound 9 is also accessible from the reaction of the 1,5-dihydro-1,1,4,5,5-pentaethyl-2,2,3-trimethyl-1-azonia-2-stanna-5-boratole 2 with diphenylphosphane. All products were characterised by 1 H, 11 B, 13 C, 14 N, 29 Si, 31 P and 119 Sn NMR data. Several absolute signs of coupling constants were determined by appropriate 2D heteronuclear shift correlations. NMR data of 8 were compared with those of Me 3 SnP(SiMe 3 ) 2 , determined here for the first time.
INTRODUCTION1,1-Organoboration of 1-alkynyltin compounds [1,2] has opened the route to many useful heterocyclic compounds or to their precursors. Thus, (E)-2-(chlorodimethylstannyl)-3-diethylboryl-pent-2-ene 1 [3] and 1,1,4,5,5-pentaethyl-2,2,3-trimethyl-1-azonia-2-stanna-5-boratole 2 [4] are readily available (Scheme 1), and the presence of numerous reactive sites is promising for further useful transformations of these compounds [5],
