2-(Tributylstannyl)furan
2-(Tributylstannyl)furan (CAS: 118486-94-5; Formula: C16H30OSn) is an organotin compound with a molecular weight of 357.12 g/mol. It serves as a valuable building block in organic synthesis, particularly in cross-coupling reactions. This reagent is utilized for introducing the furan moiety into complex organic structures, finding application in the development of novel materials and pharmaceutical intermediates. Its specific chemical properties make it a useful tool for chemists engaged in advanced synthetic endeavours.

Organometallic Reagent in Cross-Coupling
2-(Tributylstannyl)furan acts as a stannane coupling partner in various palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, such as Stille coupling. This enables the efficient formation of carbon-carbon bonds by linking the furan ring to diverse organic electrophiles.
Synthesis of Heterocyclic Compounds
It is employed in the construction of complex heterocyclic systems containing a furan core. The furan ring is a prevalent structural motif in many biologically active molecules and advanced materials.
Precursor for Functionalized Furans
Through subsequent chemical transformations, the furan ring derived from this stannane can be further functionalized. This allows for the creation of a wide array of substituted furan derivatives with tailored properties.
