The 2,8-dioxa-5-aza-1-sila-bicyclo[3.3.01.5]octane PhN(CH2CH2O)2SiH2 as reducing reagent: synthesis and molecular structure of PhN(CH2CH2O)2Sn

Abstract

The synthesis of the 2,8-dioxa-5-aza-1-stanna-bicyclo[3.3.01.5]octane [PhN(CH2CH2O)2Sn]n (3) by a combined ligand exchange/redox reaction and independently by the reaction of tin(II)butoxide with N-phenyldiethanolamine is reported. Compound 3 was characterized by elemental analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. In the solid state, it is a coordination polymer via intermolecular O→Sn interactions at O-Sn distances of 2.325 (3) and 2.379 (3) Å. The intramolecular N→Sn interactions at distances of 2.818 (3) and 3.096 (3) Å are rather weak.
