The synthesis and crystal structure of the new dimethyltin(IV) compound
[SnMe2(HL)(CH3OH)]n$(0.5nCH3OH) (1) derived from the Schiff base 2-[(2,3-dihydroxyphenyl) methylideneamino]benzenesulfonic acid (H3L) are described. Despite having six potentially donating centres (one imine nitrogen, two phenoxo and three sulfonate oxygen atoms), the monoprotonated dianionic ligand (HL2) behaves as an O,O,O-tridentate chelator. Single crystal X-ray diffraction revealed that 1 is a 1D coordination polymer with every tin(IV) ion bound to two methyl groups, a methanol molecule, two Ophenoxo and one m-Osulfonate atom from HL2. The coordination polymer 1 was applied as a heterogeneous catalyst for the Baeyer–Villiger oxidation of ketones to esters orlactones, using aqueous hydrogen peroxide as oxidant, under ultrasound (US) or microwave (MW) irradiation and solvent- and additive-free conditions. Overall conversions up to 76/82, 98/93, 93/89, 91/94, 83/90, 68/62 and 81/87% under US/MW irradiations were obtained with 3,3-dimethyl-2-butanone, cyclopentanone, 2-methylcyclopentanone, cyclohexanone, 3-methylcyclohexanone, benzophenone and acetophenone, respectively. The catalyst can be recycled up to five cycles without
losing appreciable activity.
