Evnin Submitted to the Department of Chemistry in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy ABSTRACT Chapter I. Diels-Alder Reactions of Organotin Acetylides with Highly Chlorinated Cyclopentadienes and the Chemistry of the Adducts The Diels-Alder reaction of organotin acetylides LRC m-Sn (CH 3 )3 , R (CH 3) 3Sn-, 0-, CH 3-] gives bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienes, typical- ly in 50-70% yields. The carbon-tin bonds in t he adducts are readily cleaved by electrophiles, without rearrangement of the carbon skeleton, to give novel, highly halogenated bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienes. One of these,2,3-dibromo-l,4,5,6,7,7-hexachlorobicyclo[2.2.1]hepta- 2,5-diene, was converted by bromine-metal exchange, to its 2-lithio derivative, which exhibits unusual stability for a P-balolithium system. The Diels-Alder reaction of 1,2,3,4-tetrachloro-5,5-dimethoxy- cyclopentadiene and bis(trimethyltin)acetylene, which yields 1,2-bis- (trimethyltin)tetrachlorobenzene, was also examined. Chapter II. Diels-Alder Reactions of a-Pyrones and Bis(trimethyltin- acetylene and the Chemistry of the Adducts The Diels-Alder reaction of a-pyrone and several of its analogs (5-carbomethoxy-, 5-methyl- and 4,6-dimethy-a-pyrone) with bis(trimethyltin)acetylene to produce o-bis(trimethyltin)benzenes in good yields is described. The reaction affords a route to novel tin-substituted aromatic compgunds. The utility of a-pyrones in a general, one-step synthesis of benzenoid systems is discussed. The enhanced reactivity towards bis(trimethyltin)acetylene of a- pyrones subitituted with electron withdrawing groups is established -4- and discussed in terms of current theories of the Diels-Alder reac- tion. Chapter III. Photochemistry of Unsaturated Organotin Compounds Irradiation of 2,3-bis(trimetbyltin) -1,4,5,6,7,7-hexa- chlorobicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2, 5-diene and of ,2-(trimethyltin)-1,4,,5,6, 7,7- herachloro-3-metbylbicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene converts them to t he corresponding quadricyclenes. This constitutes one of the first e xpmples of photoisomerization of a main group organometallic com- pound. Protodestannation of these tin-substituted quadricyclenes occurs without rearrangement or carbon-carbon bond cleavage. aromodestannation was found to be more complex' and evidence is present- ed for the involvement of free radical intermediates in this case. Irradiation of o-bis(trimetbyltin)benzene leads only to dissociation of the carbon-tin bond; no isomerization of the aromatic nucleus was observed. Chapter IV. Thermal Decompoition of 2-Metallo-l,4,5,6,7,7-exachloro- bigyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2 5-dienes and o-Halo(trimethyl- tin)aromatics, Thermal decomposition of 2-metallo-l,4,5,6,7,7-hexa- chlorobtcyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-dienes (M = Sn, Hg) in the melt at 2300 yielded the mixture of products expected from homolytic scission of the carbon-metal bond and subsequent reactios of the rragments. The mechanism is discussed in detail. Similar heating of o-halo- (trimethylti)ensene syatemr dea not result in earbon-tin~homolysis; instead, coupling reactions to foam (2-haloe-2-biphenylyl)trimethyl- tin derivatives or- isproportionation of the tin compound occur. Evidence is presnte bat similar intermediates are involved in the formation of these two types of products.
