General description

Dibutyltin(IV) oxide is an organotin compound that is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis. For instance, it can be used for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through coupling reactions and in the preparation of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols. It also finds use in allylation reactions, cycloaddition reactions, and ring-opening polymerizations.

Dibutyltin oxide-mediated regioselective chloroacetylation of methyl 1-thio-beta-xylobioside, followed by treatment of the product with 4-methylbenzoyl chloride-pyridine, gave methyl 4-O-chloroacetyl-2,3-di-O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->4) -2.3-di - O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1-thio-beta-D-xylopyranoside (18) in 70% yield. Coupling of 18 with benzyl alcohol afforded the disaccharide benzyl beta-glycoside, which was O-dechloroacetylated

For partial phenylcarbamoylation of the hydroxy-groups of ribonucleosides, dibutyltin oxide--phenyl isocyanate system was found to be surperior to the bis(tributyltin) oxide--phenyl isocyanate system from the standpoint of reaction procedures including isolation of the products; the reaction was proved to occur

2- and 4-Nitrophenyl beta-D-xylopyranosides (4 and 5) were transformed, via dibutyltin oxidemediated acylation, into the corresponding 2,3-di-O-benzoyl derivatives 11 and 15. Xylobiose and xylotriose were easily isolated by charcoal column chromatography from a commercially available material and converted into the

Nine complexes of adenosine and related compounds (adenosine-5'-monophosphate, adenosine-5'-triphosphate, 1-methyl-adenosine, pyridoxal-5-phosphate and beta-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphoric acid) with di-n-butyltin(IV) oxide and/or di-n-butytin(IV) dichloride were prepared in the solid state. The compositions of the complexes were determined by standard analytical methods. It was found

Carbohydrate research, 337(19), 1763-1767 (2002-11-09)
A mild and efficient neutral method for the cleavage of O-acetyl groups with dibutyltin oxide has been developed. This method is especially useful in the synthesis of glycosides containing base- or acid-sensitive multifunctional groups.
