This invention belongs to the field of organotin chemistry. In particular, it relates to a facile process for preparing certain organotin compounds, for example tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin with extremely high selectivity.
Certain organotin compounds have been shown to be useful in the deposition of highly pure tin (II) oxide in applications such as extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography techniques used in the manufacture of certain microelectronic devices.
Of particular interest are organotin compounds having a combination of alkylamino groups and alkyl groups, which are useful as liquid precursors in the deposition of tin-containing films onto microelectronic device substrates. Accordingly, there is a need for improved methodology for manufacturing such organotin compounds in highly pure forms for use in the deposition of highly pure tin oxide films.
Provided is a facile process for preparing certain organotin compounds having alkyl and alkylamino substituents. The process is especially useful in those circumstances where polyalkyl by-products cannot be effectively removed via distillation, for example dialkyl tin dialkylamides versus monoalkyl-species, due to their close proximity in boiling points. The process provides organotin precursor compounds, for example tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin (CAS No. 1913978-89-8), in a highly pure form. As such, the products of the process are particularly useful as precursors in the deposition of tin oxide films in, for example, extreme ultraviolet light (EUV) lithography techniques used in microelectronic device manufacturing.

The compounds of Formula R1SnX3 can be prepared by a redistribution reaction between, for example, iPrSnPh3 (iPr=isopropyl and Ph=phenyl) and SnCl4. In certain embodiments, the stoichiometry can be varied between 1:1 and 3:1 (R1SnPh3:SnX4). In one embodiment, the compound of Formula R1SnX3 is distilled prior to use one or more times. In the practice of the invention, wherein the compound of Formula R1SnX3 is isopropyl tin trichloride, distillation prior to use can provide a reactant which is at least about 99.9% pure.
In one embodiment, the compounds of Formula R1SnX3 include isopropyl tin trichloride, isopropyl tin tribromide, and isopropyl tin triiodide. In one embodiment, the compound of Formula R1SnX3 is isopropyl tin trichloride. Reference to isopropyl tin trichloride below will thus apply to isopropyl tin tribromide and isopropyl tin triiodide as well, along with other compounds of Formula R1SnX3 as defined herein. The compounds of Formula R1SnX3 may be added in the form of a solution or slurry, depending on the solvent utilized. For example, in hydrocarbon solvents, such as hexanes, this may form a slurry; in ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, these compounds may form a solution.
In the above process, the compound of Formula R2NH is present in a molar excess relative to the compound of Formula R1SnX3. In certain embodiments, this molar excess will be at least about 0.15, or at least about 4. In one embodiment, this molar excess can be about 2 to about 10, such as from about 2 to about 8 or about 2 to about 4, relative to the compound of Formula R1SnX3.
In the above process, non-polar aprotic solvents such as hexane may be utilized. The process can be conducted at reduced temperatures of about −78° C. to about 10° C. The reaction time may be anywhere from 1 to 60 hours at ambient temperature (i.e., from about 17° C. to about 27° C.). The reaction mixture can be filtered and subsequently vacuum distilled to remove the solvent. A non-reactive filter aid such as diatomaceous earth (i.e., celite) can be used, although higher purity products may result without this filter aid due, for example, to the presence metallic species in the filter aid. The crude product can be purified via a short path distillation after filtration of any residual solids.
In one embodiment, the isopropyl tin trichloride is distilled prior to use to remove impurities. For example, the isopropyl tin trichloride may be distilled to provide a reactant which is at least about 99.9% pure.
The lithium dimethylamide may be commercially provided or can be freshly prepared from dimethylamine and an alkyl lithium reagent.
As noted above, the process of the invention makes it possible to synthesize compounds of Formula (I) in very high purity, including with very little di-alkyl impurity present. Accordingly, in another aspect, the invention provides a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I):
wherein each R is independently chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, and R1 is chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, wherein said composition comprises less than about 0.5% by mole, of a compound of Formula (II):
As a specific embodiment, R1 is chosen from a C1-C3 alkyl group such as a methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, and isopropyl (iPr) group.
In one embodiment, the composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) comprises less than about 0.1% of a compound of Formula (II). In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (II) is bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin, and the compound of Formula (I) is tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin.
In another embodiment, the composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) comprises less than about 0.05% of a compound of Formula (II). In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (II) is bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin, and the compound of Formula (I) is tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin.
In another embodiment, the composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) comprises less than about 0.04% of a compound of Formula (II). In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (II) is bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin, and the compound of Formula (I) is tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin.
In another embodiment, the composition comprising a compound of Formula (I) comprises less than about 0.03% of a compound of Formula (II). In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (II) is bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin, and the compound of Formula (I) is tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin.

As will be seen below in Example L, it is possible to reach a level of purity, when the compound of Formula (I) is tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin (i.e., wherein each R is methyl and R1 is isopropyl), such that the presence of the undesired bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin impurity(i.e., Formula (II), wherein each R is methyl, and each R1 is isopropyl) is undetectable by routine 119Sn NMR analysis, such as utilizing a JEOL ECZ 400 with a residence time in the NMR of about 1 h to about 10 h for quantitative data acquisition.
In the above process, it is believed that a molar excess of a compound of Formula R2NH compared to the compound of Formula R1SnX3 affords an in situ intermediate Lewis base adduct having Formula (A):
wherein each R is independently chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, R1 is chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, and X is chosen from Cl, I, or Br. For example, each R and R1 may be chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, such as a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl, sec-butyl group. Thus, an embodiment of the invention is a process for preparing a compound of Formula (I) from a compound of Formula (A), which is formed by reaction of a compound of Formula R2NH and a compound of Formula R1SnX3 and then reacts with a compound of Formula Li(R)2N. For this embodiment, the compound of Formula R2NH is in excess of the compound of Formula R1SnX3.
In a specific example of the above process, it is believed that a molar excess of dimethylamine compared to isopropyl tin trichloride, which in one embodiment is about 0.15 to about 10, affords an in situ intermediate Lewis base adduct having Formula (A-a):
In a similar way, a molar excess of dimethyl amine compared to ethyl tin trichloride affords an in situ Lewis base adduct having Formula (A-d):
For example, when a molar excess of dimethylamine is utilized in the reaction, the formation of the undesired dialkyl by-product, bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin, has been observed to be greatly diminished. In this regard, reproduction of Example 1 of WO2017/066319 as shown in Comparative Example 1 below, resulted in a product mixture of the desired tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin along with approximately 1.6 mole percent (as determined by 119Sn NMR integration) of the undesired bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin. While not wishing to be bound by any particular mechanism, it is believed that the excess dimethylamine forms the corresponding Lewis base adduct in situ, which upon reaction with the lithium dimethylamide, advantageously improves the selectivity of the reaction and thus leads to the greatly improved purity of the desired compound of Formula (I), such as tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin. Additionally, when care is taken to utilize recently-prepared or purified reactants, this effect is enhanced.
As further support, Lewis base adduct (A-a) was prepared, isolated and crystallized:
Reaction of adduct (A-a) with lithium dimethylamide afforded tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin in high yield and outstanding selectivity for the mono-isopropyl species, at levels of contamination (with diisopropyl species) of as low as about 0.03%, 0.02%, 0.01%, or 0.001% and can be undetectable by routine 119Sn NMR analysis, such as utilizing a JEOL ECZ 400 with a residence time in the NMR of about 1 h to about 10 h for quantitative data acquisition. Thus, in a further aspect, the invention provides the compound of Formula (A), which is useful as an intermediate in the synthesis of Formula (I).
In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (A) is added as a slurry in hydrocarbon solvent to a slurry of lithium dimethylamide in hydrocarbon solvent.
In one embodiment, the lithium dimethylamide is freshly prepared from dimethylamine and an alkyl lithium.
In similar fashion, the corresponding iodo substituted tin compounds of Formula (A-b) and bromo substituted tin compounds of Formula (A-c) can be prepared and isolated:
Thus, the compounds of Formula (A-a), (A-b), and (A-c) would also be useful as intermediates in the synthesis of high-purity tris(dimethylamido)isopropyl tin and form another aspect of the invention.
Accordingly, in a further aspect, the invention provides a process for preparing a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I-a):
which comprises contacting a compound of Formula (A-a):
with lithium dimethylamide. Furthermore, the invention also provides a process for preparing a composition comprising a compound of Formula (I-d):
which comprises contacting a compound of Formula (A-d):
with lithium dimethylamide.
In the processes of the invention, the lithium dimethylamide will either be a solution or a slurry, depending on the solvent or medium utilized; for example, with tetrahydrofuran, the lithium dimethylamide will generally be a solution and in hydrocarbons, it would generally be in the form of a slurry. In one embodiment, the compound of Formula (A-a) is in a slurry with a hydrocarbon solvent, such as hexane. In another embodiment, the compound of Formula (A-a) is dissolved in an ether solvent, such as tetrahydrofuran.
In general, the lithium dimethylamide is present in a molar excess, i.e., of at least about 3 molar equivalents of lithium dimethylamide relative to 1 molar equivalent of the compound of Formula (A-a) in order to fully react with the three chlorine atoms on the compound of Formula (A-a). In one embodiment, about 3 to 3.2 equivalents of lithium dimethylamide is utilized, relative to the compound of Formula (A). When preparing the lithium dimethylamide, it may be advantageous to have a molar excess of dimethyl amine present, for example at least about 1.05 molar equivalents of dimethylamine (relative to the alkyl lithium starting material, for example n-butyl lithium).
In one embodiment, the composition comprises less than about 0.5% mole percent of impurities, wherein said impurities are comprised of bis(dimethylamido)diisopropyl tin.
The precursors for the preparation of the compounds of Formula (A-b) and (A-c) can be prepared from the corresponding isopropyl trihalo tin compounds according to the following scheme:
wherein X is bromo or iodo. Instead of a molar excess of iodine or bromine (e.g., approximately 3.5), mono iodo chloride or mono iodo bromide can be utilized, as described, for example in (i) Mesubi, M. A.; Afolabi, M. O.; Falase, K. O. Halogen Cleavage of Cyanomethyltriphenylstannane. Inorg. Nucl. Chem. Lett. 1976, 12, 469-474, https://doi.org/10.1016/0020-1650(76)80148-1; (ii) Bullard, R. H.; Robinson, W. B.

Thus, as with the corresponding isopropyl tin trichloride, the compounds of Formula
wherein X is bromo or iodo, can be contacted with 2.0, 4.0, or up to 6.0 molar equivalents of dimethylamine, to ensure the formation of the Lewis base adduct (such as the compounds of Formulae (A-b) and (A-c)), followed by removal of solvent in vacuo to afford the compounds in crystalline form. Accordingly, in a further embodiment, the invention provides the compounds of Formulae (A-a), (A-b), and (A-c) in crystalline form. In one embodiment, the crystalline form of the compound of Formula (A-a) is as set forth in
In a further aspect, the invention provides a process for preparing compounds of Formula R1SnX3, wherein X is chloro or bromo and R1 is chosen from a C1-C5 alkyl group, by reacting a compound of the Formula R1SnR43 with a mono iodo chloride or bromide respectively, wherein R4 is chosen from aryl, C2-C8 alkenyl, and C2-C8 alkynyl, and thus providing the corresponding isopropyl tin trihalide and iodobenzene. In this regard, aryl includes aromatic carbocyclic rings such as phenyl and napthyl, etc., optionally substituted by C1-C6 alkyl, halo, nitro, cyano, C1-C6 alkoxy, C1-C6 alkylamino, and C1-C6 dialkylamino. The C2-C8 alkenyl and C2-C8 alkynyl groups are understood to denote two to eight carbon hydrocarbons with at least one double bond or triple bond, respectively, and the point of attachment may be to the carbon with the double or triple bond, or one of the other carbons in the chain.
