A Chiral Triamidostannate:  Its Structure and Properties as a Nucleophile

Abstract

The first enantiomerically pure chiral triamidostannate, HC{SiMe2N[(S)-CH(Me)Ph]}3SnLi(THF) (2), has been synthesized and structurally characterized; the crystal structure of the derived Sn−Ni heterobimetallic complex [Li(THF)4][HC{SiMe2N[(S)-CH(Me)Ph]}3Sn−Ni(CO)3] (5) is reported.
