New organotin compounds with a PTA derivative as ligand were synthesized and characterized. These compounds were heterogenized on activated carbon and carbon nanotubes, and their catalytic properties were investigated. Complex 3 supported on activated carbon showed high activity and recyclability for the cyanosilylation reaction of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. NMR analysis suggested a double activation mechanism.
New organotin compounds with general formula [(PTA-CH2-C6H4-p-COO)SnR3]Br (where R is Me for 3 and Ph for 4; PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane), bearing the methylene benzoate PTA derivative, were synthesized through a mild two-step process. The compounds were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). They were heterogenized on commercially available activated carbon (AC) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNT), as well as on their chemically modified analogues. The obtained materials were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Complex 3 supported on activated carbon (3-AC) was found to be an active and recyclable catalyst for the cyanosilylation of several aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. Using 3-AC with a low loading of 0.1 mol% several substrates were quantitatively converted, within just 5 min at 50 degrees C and under microwave irradiation in solvent-free conditions. Multinuclear NMR analysis suggested a mechanism that potentially involves a double activation process, where the nucleophilic phosphorus at the PTA derivative acts as a Lewis base and the Sn(IV) metal centre as a Lewis acid.
