Reactions of organotin compounds. X. Reactions of tin hydrides with CF2=CFRe(CO)5, CF3CF=CFRe(CO)5, and some fluorinated alkenes
Trimethyltin hydride reacts with CF2=CFRe(CO)5 under ultraviolet irradiation to give new fluorovinyl derivatives of —Re(CO)5. Similar products were obtained using dimethyltin dihydride, but no reaction occurred between trimethyltin hydride and CF3CF=CFRe(CO)5. The reactions of trifluoroethylene, 1,1-difluoroethylene, and vinyl fluoride with trimethyltin hydride have been studied, thus completing the sequence of such reactions with fluorinated ethylenes. While both possible addition products were obtained with trifluoroethylene, and also from the corresponding reaction with perfluoropropene, 1,1-difluoroethylene gave only (CH3)3SnCH2CF2H, and with vinyl fluoride only trimethyltin fluoride and ethylene were isolated. Possible explanations are proposed and spectroscopic data for the new compounds are presented.
