Stannole is an organotin compound with the formula (CH)4SnH2. It is classified as a metallole, i.e. an unsaturated five-membered ring containing a heteroatom. It is a structural analog of cyclopentadiene, with tin replacing the saturated carbon atom. Substituted derivatives, which have been synthesized, are also called stannoles.{{cite journal|last1 = Dubac|first1 = Jacques|last2 = Laporterie|first2 = Andre|last3 = Manuel|first3 = Georges|title = Group 14 metalloles. 1.

Examples
1,1-Dibutylstannole is a pale yellow oil prepared from 1,4-dilithio-1,3-butadiene and dibutyltin dichloride.{{cite journal|last1 = Ashe|first1 = Arthur J.|last2 = Mahmoud|first2 = Samir.|title = 1,4-Dilithio-1,3-butadienes|journal = Organometallics|volume = 7|pages = 1878|year = 1988|doi = 10.1021/om00098a034|issue = 8}}
1,1-Dimethyl-2,3,4,5-tetraphenyl-1H-stannole, for example, can be formed by the displacement reaction of 1,4-dilithio-1,2,3,4-tetraphenyl-1,3-butadiene and dimethyltin dichloride.
