2,2-Dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dioxacycloalkanes were prepared from dibutyltin oxide and 1,2-ethanediol, 1,3-propanediol or 1,4-butanediol. These tin heterocycles reacted stoichiometrically with double molar amounts of γ-thiobutyrolactone by a stepwise insertion. In contrast to γ-thiobutyrolactone an excess of e-thiocaprolactone resulted in additional insertion steps, i.e., polymerization of the thiolactone. Analogous insertion reactions were performed with a spirocyclic stannoxane derived from pentaerythritol. With e-caprolactone macrocyclic polymerization took place without stoichiometric intermediates. When the 2,2-dibutyl-stanna-dioxepane was reacted with an equimolar amount of 1,3-dithian-2-one, the insertion step was immediately followed by a ring contraction reaction yielding 2-stanna-1,3-dithiane and trimethylene carbonate which polymerized immediately. The application of this reaction sequence to macrocyclic stanna poly(e-caprolactone) yielded tin-free macrocycles along with 2,2-dibutyl-2-stanna-1,3-dithiane. This reaction sequence allows the synthesis of nontoxic, biodegradable macrocyclic polyesters.
