Recent advances in the substitution reactions of triorganylstannyl ions with aromatic compounds by the SRN1 mechanism. Synthetic applications

Abstract

A review on the reactions of triorganyl stannyl ions with haloarenes is presented. Emphasis on the synthetic applications of the resulting triorganyl stannyl aryl compounds is made, with their inherent potential to build large molecules through the SRN1 sequence, i.e. ArX→ArSnR 3→ArAr, which can be iteratively repeated when appropriately substituted substrates are chosen.
