In 30 ml of pure water was dissolved 10.19 g of sodium azide and the solution was cooled to 8° C. Then, 50.0 g of trioctyltin chloride was added dropwise over a period of 10 minutes and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours. The reaction mixture was then extracted with 88 ml of methylene chloride and further with 25 ml of the same solvent, and the extract was washed with 25 ml of 10% aqueous sodium chloride solution and concentrated to provide 50.05 g of trioctyltin azide.
