Water → Diphenyltin dihydride

Participants

Reaction Steps

To an ice-cooled suspension of 0.76 g of lithium aluminum hydride in 15 ml of dry ether, was added 6.88 g of diphenyltin dichloride dissolved in 20 ml of dry ether. After stirring for 30 minutes, 20 ml of water was added to the resulted reaction mixture, and the ether layer was washed with icy water and dried over calcium chloride. The subsequent concentration under reduced pressure gave diphenyltin hydride.
