Reactions of dimethyl sulfate with diorganotin oxides. One-pot synthesis of methoxydiorganotin methanesulfonates through the Arbuzov rearrangement, spectroscopic characterization of these compounds and their derivatives, and X-ray crystal structures of n-Bu (sub)2 Sn(X)OS(O) (sub)2 Me (X = acac, bzbz, OH)

Research conducted on the diorganotin oxides to investigate dimethyl sulfite behavior toward organotin nucleophilic reagents is analyzed. Results demonstrate organotin compound-mediated rearrangement at sulfur center.
