Key Properties
Tributyltin chloride (for synthesis) is a reactive organotin compound that serves as a synthetic intermediate in various chemical reactions. It is notable for its high toxicity and environmental impact, which has led to stringent regulations governing its use. This compound is primarily utilized in research settings, particularly in organotin coordination chemistry, where it acts as a reference compound. Its unique properties make it valuable in the synthesis of other organotin derivatives, although its application is limited due to safety concerns.
Also known as Tributyltin(IV) chloride.

- Substance
Tributyltin chloride is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a density of approximately 1.2 g/mL. It has a boiling point of around 150 °C and a melting point that is not applicable as it remains liquid at room temperature. The compound is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Its vapour pressure is relatively low, indicating that it does not readily evaporate at room temperature, which is a consideration for handling and storage.
