Preparation of lower trialkyltin hydride from trialkyltin chloride

摘要

A simple, direct, and safe process for preparing an organic solvent solution of a lower trialkyltin hydride of high purity and in high yield by reacting a lower trialkyltin chloride with an alkali metal bis(2-alkoxyethoxy)aluminum dihydride in a hydrocarbon solvent boiling in the 50 DEG to 200 DEG C. range.
