Synthesis and reactivity of some bridgehead organotin derivatives of triptycene

New organotin derivatives of triptycene are reported. The reactivity of these compounds has been studied semi-quantitatively. In 9-trimethylstannyltriptycene, the tin—triptycene bond is inert to electrophilic substitution and the tin—methyl bonds are much less reactive than the corresponding bonds i...

Summary:New organotin derivatives of triptycene are reported. The reactivity of these compounds has been studied semi-quantitatively. In 9-trimethylstannyltriptycene, the tin—triptycene bond is inert to electrophilic substitution and the tin—methyl bonds are much less reactive than the corresponding bonds in 1-trimethylstannyladamantane. An alternative route to organometallic derivatives of triptycene via a Diels—Alder addition reaction of benzyne to the appropriate anthracene is also described.
