“…So far, stannasiloxanes have been prepared by the reaction of organosilanols with organochlorostannanes in the presence of a base, 3f,l,n,r,s by the reaction of organosilanols with organotin oxides, 2e,h,3k,u or by lithium halide elimination from organosilanolates and organohalostannanes. 1c,2a,b,l-n,3b,c,e,h-k,m,t The formation of Si−O−Sn linkages was also achieved by making use of the high Bronsted acidity of silica surfaces, which allows the cleavage of Sn−C and Sn−H bonds. 5a,c,h,k,l …”
