Abstract
Triphenylantimony and triphenylbismuth diacetates, Ph3M(OAc)2 (M = Sb, Bi), were obtained in 50–94 % yields by the reaction of triphenylantimony and triphenylbismuth withtert-butyl peracetate in the presence of acetic acid or acetic anhydride (molar ratio 1 ∶ 1 ∶ 1) in toluene.tert-Butyl peracetate oxidizes Ph3M into alkoxides, Ph3M(OAc)OBut, which at the instant of formation are acylated with acetic acid or acetic anhydride to give the corresponding derivatives, Ph3M(OAc)2.
