Palladium-catalyzed distannylation of ortho-quinodimethanes.
An exo-diene moiety of various ortho-quinodimethanes, regardless of its transient character, was inserted into a Sn-Sn sigma-bond of hexabutyldistannane in the presence of a palladium catalyst, giving alpha,alpha'-bis(tributylstannyl)-o-xylenes straightforwardly.
