1,3-Dibutoxy-1,1,3,3-tetrabutyldistannoxane → Dibutoxydibutylstannane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A feed pump was used to start feeding the starting material 1,1,3,3-tetrabutyl-1,3-di(butyloxy)-distannoxane prepared in the same manner as in Example 12 from supply line 110 at 4,600 g/Hr and the reactant 1-butanol (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd., Japan, industrial product) from alcohol supply line 111 at 22,000 g/Hr. The holding time in the reactor was 6 minutes. The liquid temperature inside the reactor was adjusted to 120° C. Continuous supply was continued in this state for 2 hours, after which the pressure in the system reached a steady state. Low boiling point components flowed through the low boiling point component recovery line 116 for liquefaction at the condenser 117, and were thereby recovered from the liquid-phase recovery line 120 at 18,000 g/Hr. Furthermore, from the reactor lower portion 115, a dibutyltin alkoxide-containing component was recovered at 8,600 g/Hr from the extraction line 121. Analysis of the recovered liquid showed that, using dibutyltin oxide as a reference, the liquid contained a dibutyltin alkoxide consisting of a yield of about 34.2% dibutyl-di(butyloxy)tin and 65.7% of 1,1,3,3-tetrabutyl-1,3-di(butyloxy)-distannoxane. Tributyltin butoxide had a yield of 0.015%. Meanwhile, the liquid recovered from the liquid-phase recovery line 120 was transparent and contained 2,000 ppm of moisture. The dehydration rate in the reactor was 2.5 mol/Hr, which was greater than the value 0.0061 mol/Hr calculated from expression (16).
