- Reaction with Grignard or lithium reagents gives alkyl or aryl stannanes.
- Organostannanes undergo the Stille coupling reaction, in the presence of Pd catalysts, such as trans-Dichlorobis(triphenyl phosphine) palladium(II) , 10491 , or Tetrakis(triphenyl phosphine) palladium(0) , 10548 , with aryl halides: Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., 25, 508 (1986); J. Org. Chem., 52, 422 (1987), aryl triflates: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 106, 4630 (1984); 108, 3033 (1986); 109, 5478 (1987); Org. Synth. Coll., 9, 553 (1998), or aryl fluorosulfonates: J. Org. Chem., 56, 3493 (1991). LiCl is added in the reaction with triflates to prevent decomposition of the catalyst. These reactions are of wide scope (coupling also occurs with vinyl, allyl or benzyl halides), take place under very mild conditions, and a variety of other functional groups can be tolerated.
