Preparation of triarylantimony(V) diacetates and palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling and carbonylative cross-coupling of triarylantimony(V) diacetates and dichlorides with organostannanes

Triarylstibines react with iodobenzene diacetate in dichloromethane to afford triarylantimony(V) diacetates. The cross-coupling and carbonylative cross-coupling of triarylantimony(V) diacetates and dichlorides with organostannanes was accomplished in the presence of PdCl2 (5 mol%) in CH3CN at room temperature.
