Organotin Compounds Robert Ono 4 December 2012
Organotin Uses • Protodehalogenation • Cross-Coupling (Stille)
Trialkyltin Chlorides Size of R Reactivity decrease increase Toxicity Example: SnMe3Cl vs. SnBu3Cl LD50 12.6 mg/kg 129 mg/kg (NaCN LD50: 4.8 mg/kg)
Toxicity • Ingestion, inhalation, or skin exposure • Skin, eye irritation • Neurotoxin • Accumulates in parts of the brain • Dizzyness, vertigo, memory loss, aggressiveness… • Reproductive toxicity in lab animals • Not really carcinogenic • Also,
Handling • Proper PPE • Protect eyes, hands, skin • Chlorides – avoid contact with moisture • Hydrides – handle under inert gas atmosphere • Disposal: • Wash contaminated equipment with organic solvent, into container, tag for pickup • Same for small spills (larger spills, call EHS)
How to get rid of R3Sn-X byproducts from your reactions ( + SnR3-Br or Cl) • Vigorously stir crude reaction mixture (in organic solvent) with 1M NaOH for 1h • Separate organic phase, filter through silica • R3Sn-X is converted to polar R3Sn-OH, which does not elute on silica gel Tetrahedron Lett. 1998 , 39 , 2123.
