PT Journal AU Stien, D Gastaldi, S TI Design of polyaromatic hydrocarbon-supported tin reagents: A new family of tin reagents easily removable from reaction mixtures SO Journal of Organic Chemistry JI J. Org. Chem. PY 2004 BP 4464 EP 4470 VL 69 IS 13 AB We report in this paper the preparation and use of stannanes 11, 12a, and 12b, compounds whose 3-pyrenylpropyl side chain affinity for activated carbon simplifies tin removal and product isolation. Our pyrene-supported reagents can be used for radical reductions and cyclizations (11), radical and cationic allylations (12a), and Stille couplings (12b) in much the same way as tributyltin derivatives.
