The stannotropic rearrangement in 3a,4,4a,8 tetrahydro 4,4,8,8 tetramethyl tert butyl 4 stanna symm indacene was studied by dynamic NMR spectroscopy. Line shape analysis of the spectra with the use of various possible schemes of chemical exchange gives similar calculated spectra. The decision between three possible exchange schemes was made based on line shape analysis, general structural considerations, and quantum chemical calculations. A comparison with the precursor, in which the Bu t group is absent, shows that the presence of this group has an ambiguous effect on the activation barriers of rearrangements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
