Preparation of Organotin Compounds
Organotin compounds can be synthesised by reaction of a Grignard reagent with tin halides for example tin tetrachloride. An example is the organic synthesis of tributyl-stannane:
The Wurtz-like coupling of alkyl sodium compounds with tin halides yield tetraorganotin compounds. Another method is an redistribution reaction of tin halides with organoaluminium compounds (AlR3). Triorganotin halides can be prepared in the Kocheshkov redistribution reaction.

Famous quotes containing the words preparation of, preparation and/or compounds:
“With memory set smarting like a reopened wound, a man’s past is not simply a dead history, an outworn preparation of the present: it is not a repented error shaken loose from the life: it is a still quivering part of himself, bringing shudders and bitter flavours and the tinglings of a merited shame.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
“Living each day as a preparation for the next is an exciting way to live. Looking forward to something is much more fun than looking back at something—and much more constructive. If we can prepare ourselves so that we never have to think, “Oh, if I had only known, if I had only been ready,” our lives can really be the great adventure we so passionately want them to be.”
—Hortense Odlum (1892–?)
“We can come up with a working definition of life, which is what we did for the Viking mission to Mars. We said we could think in terms of a large molecule made up of carbon compounds that can replicate, or make copies of itself, and metabolize food and energy. So that’s the thought: macrocolecule, metabolism, replication.”
—Cyril Ponnamperuma (b. 1923)
