1.2.5. Synthesis, crystal structure and catalytic activity of 2-methoxycarbonylethyldichlorotin hydroxide

Abstract

Abstract: 2-methoxycarbonylethyldichlorotin hydroxide,

CH3OCOCH2CH2SnCl2(OH) ( 1), has been synthesized by hydrolysis

reaction and characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR,

1H NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray single crystal diffraction.

Compound  1 is a centrosymmetric dimmer, and the tin atom

approximates to octahedral geometry via an intramolecular carbonyl-

to-tin coordination and hydroxo-bridging. The compound

display high selectivity and good catalysis activity on the transesterification

reaction of ethyl acetoacetate with an alcohol.
