The hydrolysis of [(Me)2(Ph)Sn(IV)]+ and [(Ph)3Sn(IV)]+ has been investigated at 25 °C and different aqueous solutions of ethanol, using a combination of spectrophotometric and potentiometric techniques. The species formed together with their formation constants have been determined using the computer program Squad over a wide pH range of 1 to 11. The hydrolysis constants in different media were analyzed in terms of Kamlet and Taft parameters. Single-parameter correlation of the formation constants, K11 and K12, versus α (hydrogen-bond donor acidity), β (hydrogen-bond acceptor basicity), and π* (dipolarity/polarizability) for both cases are relatively poor in all solutions, but multiparameter correlation represents significant improvement with regard to the single-parameter models. In this work, we have also used the normalized polarity parameter, ETN, alone and in combination with the Kamlet–Taft parameter to find a better correlation of the formation constants in different aqueous ethanol solutions.Key words: dimethylphenyltin(IV) chloride, triphenyltin(IV) chloride, hydrolysis constant, aqueous ethanol solutions, solvent effect.

Biphenyl-2,2’-bisfenchyloxydichlorosilane (7, BIFOXSiCl2) is synthesized and employed as precursor for the new silanols biphenyl-2,2’-bisfenchyloxychlorosilanol (8, BIFOXSiCl(OH)) and biphenyl-2,2’-bisfenchyloxysilanediol (9, BIFOXSi(OH)2). BIFOXSiCl2 (7) shows a remarkable stability against hydrolysis, yielding silanediol 9 under enforced conditions. A kinetic study for the hydrolysis of dichlorosilane 7 shows a 263 times slower reaction compared to reference bis-(2,4,6-tri-tert-butylphenoxy)dichlorosilane (14), known for its low hydrolytic reactivity. Computational analyses explain the slow hydrolyses of BIFOXSiCl2 (7) to BIFOXSiCl(OH) (8, E a = 32.6 kcal mol−1) and BIFOXSiCl(OH) (8) to BIFOXSi(OH)2 (9, E a = 31.4 kcal mol−1) with high activation barriers, enforced by endo fenchone units. Crystal structure analyses of silanediol 9 with acetone show shorter hydrogen bonds between the Si–OH groups and the oxygen of the bound acetone (OH···O 1.88(3)–2.05(2) Å) than with chlorosilanol 8 (OH···2.16(0) Å). Due to its two hydroxy units, the silanediol 9 shows higher catalytic activity as hydrogen bond donor than chlorosilanol 8, e.g., C–C coupling N-acyl Mannich reaction of silyl ketene acetals 11 with N-acylisoquinolinium ions (up to 85% yield and 12% ee), reaction of 1-chloroisochroman (18) and silyl ketene acetals 11 (up to 85% yield and 5% ee), reaction of chromen-4-one (20) and silyl ketene acetals 11 (up to 98% yield and 4% ee).
