N,N'-Bis[trans-2-phenyl-5-(triphenylstannylmethoxymethyl)-1,3-dioxan-5-yl]ethanediamide

The title compound, μ-{N,N'-bis[trans-5-(methoxymethyl)-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl]ethanediamide­(2-)}bis­(triphenyltin), [Sn₂(C₆H₅)₆(C₂₆H₃₀N₂O₈)], was isolated from the products of the (triphenylstannyl)methylation of a 1:1 mixture of stereoisomers of N,N'-bis(5-hydroxymethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-dioxan-5-yl)ethanediamide. The molecule lies about an inversion centre and the unique Sn atom has distorted tetrahedral geometry, with Sn—C_alkyl and Sn—C_aryl distances of 2.154 (2) and 2.138 (2)–2.147 (3) Å, respectively, and C—Sn—C angles in the range 105.5 (1)-113.2 (1)°.
