Organostannanes are a class of organometallic compounds that contain carbon-tin bonds. They typically consist of a tin atom bonded to one or more organic groups, making them useful in various chemical reactions, particularly in organic synthesis. Their unique properties allow them to act as reagents in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds. These compounds are often used in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Organostannanes can also serve as intermediates in the synthesis of other organometallic compounds. Due to their reactivity, they play a significant role in the field of organometallic chemistry and are studied for their potential applications in materials science.
