Reaction of Di-isobutyl Aluminium Hydride with Stannic Chloride

Abstract

GENERAL methods for preparation of organo–tin compounds of divalent tin have been reviewed by Gilman et al.1. The most usual methods include reaction of stannous chloride with a Grignard reagent or lithium alkyl and reduction of a dialkyl tin IV dichloride with sodium amalgam. In addition, reaction of sodium triethoxyl-alumino hydride with organo–tin IV halides in certain circumstances leads to formation of divalent organo–tin compounds2.
