Abstract
Abstract Aryltributylstannanes undergo a high yielding mercury (II) catalysed reaction with lead tetraacetate in chloroform to give the aryllead triacetate, which is readily separated from the other product of the reaction, tributyltin acetate. The synthetic utility of the reaction is demonstrated in the preparation of 6-methoxy-2-naphthyllead triacetate which is readily converted into the anti-inflammatory drug, naproxen.
