Abstract

The configuration about the Sn centre in the title compound, [Sn(CH3)3(C10H13N2O 2)], is intermediate between tetrahedral and trigonal bipyramidal. A weak intramolecular Sn⋯O(carbonyl) interaction of 3.070 (3) Å gives rise to an intramolecular six-membered chelate ring, formed through the carbonyl O atom; this is a unique feature of tetraorganotin compounds. The title compound was prepared by consecutive reaction of 3-(tert-butoxycarbonylamino)pyridine with n-butyllithium and trimethyltin chloride.
