We report the preparation of enantioenriched secondary alkylcarbastannatranes via a stereoinvertive SN2 reaction of enantioenriched alkyl mesylates and carbastannatranyl anion equivalents. Using this process, enantioenriched secondary alcohols may be converted into highly enantioenriched alkylcarbastannatranes, which are useful in stereospecific cross-coupling reactions.
