The reactions of Me3Sn- ion with 2-chloropyridine, p-chlorobenzonitrile, o-, m-dichlorobenzenes, 1,3,5-trichlorobenzene, 2,5-, 2,6-, and 3,5-dichloropyridines give good yields of substitution products. When p-bis-(trimethylstannyl)benzene is treated with Na metal in liquid ammonia, a dianion is formed, which upon photostimulated reaction with PhCl, affords the disubstitution product in 70% yield. We suggest that all these reactions occur by the SRN1 mechanism of nucleophilic substitution.
