Synthesis, structural characterization and cytotoxic activity of triorganotin 5-(salicylideneamino)salicylates

Six new triorganotin complexes ( 1a – 1c and 2a – 2c ) of 5‐(salicylideneamino)salicylic acid, [5‐(3‐X‐2‐HOC 6 H 3 CH═N)‐2‐HOC 6 H 3 COO]SnR 3 (X = H, 1 ; CH 3 O, 2 ; R = Ph, a ; Cy, b ; CH 2 C(CH 3 ) 2 Ph, c ), have been synthesized by one‐pot reaction of 5‐aminosalicylic acid, salicylaldehyde and triorganotin hydroxide and characterized using elemental analysis and infrared and NMR ( 1 H, 13 C and 119 Sn) spectra. The crystal structures of 1a...
