Tributyltin Chloride → HCID 21400915, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the apparatus and procedure of Example I, 100 ml. of an approximately one-molar solution of (p-methoxyphenylthio)methyllithium in hexane-THF solvent is added dropwise with stirring to 0.1 mole of tributyltin chloride dissolved in THF. The temperature is maintained by means of an ice bath in the range of from 0° C to 10° C. Following the complete addition over a one-quarter hour period, the reaction mixture is stirred for two hours at room temperature and hydrolyzed by pouring into aqueous one-molar ammonium chloride. Extraction from the hydrolyzate with ether solvent and purification by vacuum distillation yields the desired product, (p-methoxyphenylthiomethyl)tributyltin.
