thallium(I) acetate → Tin(IV) acetate

Participants

Reaction Steps

In order to produce tin-(IV)-acetate, expensive intermediate compounds first have to be prepared such as, for example, thallium acetate. The thallium acetate is reacted in acetic acid anhydride with tin-(IV)-iodide or tin-(IV)-bromide to obtain tin-(IV)-acetate. This procedure is exceedingly cumbersome and, from an economics point of view, requires substantial expenditure.
