Synthesis and structure of some cis-and trans-myrtanylstannanes

Enantiomerically pure cis- and trans-myrtanylstannanes cis-MyrSnPh 3 (1), trans-MyrSnPh 3 (2), cis-MyrSnPh 2 Cl (3), trans-MyrSnPh 2 Cl (4), cis-MyrSnPhCl 2 (5), trans-MyrSnPhCl 2 (6), cis-MyrSnCl 3 (7), trans-MyrSnCl 3 (8) were synthesized and fully characterized by 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn NMR spectroscopy. The molecular structures of 1, 3, 6, 7, and [trans-MyrSn(OH)Cl 2 · H 2 O] 2 (8a) a hydrolysis product of 8, were determined by X-ray crystallography.
