Resumen:
his review highlights the synthesis and applications of bimetallic and heteroatoms stannanes R3Sn-M (M = Si, Sn, Ge, P, As, Sb, S, Se and Te) derived from elements of the groups XIV, XV, and XVI. Different types of reactions are described: transition metal-catalyzed addition of hetero-bimetallic compounds to multiple bonds, transition metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of the organostannanes with a variety of electrophiles and other general reactions, such as substitution or complexes formation.
