The effect of solvent and electrophile on halodemetalation reactions of carbon-tin bondshas been investigated. Both stereochemical results and n9Sn NMR have beenused as mechanistic probes. The effect of solvent is extreme; reactions performedin polarsolvents such as acetonitrile and dimethylformamide yield cleavage products with predominantly inversion of configuration, whereas nonpolar solvents yield products with predominantly retention. Polar-aprotic solvents appear to be highly efficient in promoting inversion stereochemistry. Polar-protic solvents are not as efficient. This is explained in terms of some very specific solvation phenomena. Also, 119Sn NMR studies of several trialkyltin halides in various solvents show that these specificsolvation phenomena can be qualitatively assessed. The nature of the electrophile also plays an important role in eventual stereochemistry; Br2, 12, IC1, and IBr are compared and discussed.Early work investigating electrophilic cleavages of or-ganomercurials indicated that retention of configuration at carbon was the general stereochemical outcome for SE2 reactions. 1 In an attempt to demonstrate the viability of an inversion mechanism, Jensen and Davis2 sought to devise a system which would have properties favorable to an inversion pathway. An examination of the possible transition states for SE2 reactions, Figure 1, reveals that the transition state leading to inversion of configuration at carbon, Figure lc, would require (a) sufficient charge stabilization of both leavinggroups Y and M and (b) steric hindrance to frontside attack by the electrophile YZ. Thus, Jensen and Davis synthesized trineopentyl-sec-bu-tyltin, reacted it with bromine in methanol with added sodium bromide, and obtained inversion at carbon. 2 Since this finding, othergroups have also demonstrated inversion stereochemistry for SE2 processes at carbon-tin bonds. Rahm and Pereyre demonstrated that the severe steric congestion caused by neopentyl substitution on tin resulted in an abnormal stereochemical outcome and that retention was still the preferred pathway. 3 In a later study per-formed by McGahey and Jensen it was found that inver-sion pathways compete with retention pathways and there is no general preferred stereochemistry. 4 They studied the bromodemetalation of a series of tetraalkyltins of the form (sec-butyl) Sn (isopropyl) 3_jv (neopentyl) 2v, N=
