Reaction of N-trimethylsilyl derivatives of amides and lactams with chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylstannane: Crystal and molecular structure of 1-(chlorodimethylstannylmethyl)-2-piperidone

A general scheme of reactions between chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylstannane and N-trimethylsilylamides and -lactams was established by NMR and IR techniques. The reactions proceed via transmetallation followed by transformation of the N-stannylated intermediate (1) into (N–Sn)-coordinated O-stannylmethyl (2) and (O–Sn)-coordinated N-stannylmethyl (3) derivatives. In the cases of 2-piperidone and 2-hexahydroazepinone these products were isolated as individual compounds (2b,c and 3b,c). X-ray diffraction study of 1-(chlorodimethylstannylmethyl)-2-piperidone (3b) confirmed (3 + 2)-coordination state of the tin atom and axial positions of oxygen and halogen atoms. The experimental and quantum-chemically calculated structural parameters are discussed in comparison with those of related trigonal bipyramidal (TBP) silicon, germanium and tin derivatives. Calculation at the MP2/LanL2DZ/D95 level reveals that the stability of the (O–M)chelates increases in the following order: (O–Si) < (O–Ge) < (O–Sn).
