1,2-Bis(trimethylstannyl)benzene (1) and 2,2'-bis(trimethylstannyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (2),useful as intermediates in the preparation of bidentate Lewis acids, have been synthesizedfrom simple phenols through a two-step sequence. Thus, 2-chlorophenol, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, and binaphthol were converted into the corresponding aryl diethyl phosphate esters4-6, which on reaction with sodium trimethylstannide (3) in liquid ammonia, underirradiation, afforded 1 and 2, respectively, in good yields (66-82%). The results obtainedclearly indicate that the reactions proceed through an SRN1 mechanism and involve theintermediacy of a monosubstitution product.
