A process for making a mixed product of dimethyltin dichloride and methyltin trichloride by reacting dimethyltin dichloride with stannic chloride without catalyst. The mixed product is useful as an intermediate, without further purification, in the preparation of corresponding mercaptide stabilizer for vinyl chloride polymers.

Preparation of mixtures of methyltin trichloride and dimethyltin

Certain substituted thioglycolates and thiopropionates were found useful as secondary stabilizers for polymers, particularly polyvinyl chloride, when used in conjunction with metal octanoates, such as zinc octanoate, as the primary stabilizer. The specific thioglycolates and thiopropionates are those formed by thio adducts to the double bond of a monomer, such as the product of reacting isooctyl thioglycolate with glycidyl acrylate, to provide isooctyl S-2(glycidyloxycarbonyl)ethyl thioglycolate, as an example.

Thioglycolate and thiopropionate secondary stabilizers

Novel peroxydicarbonates are provided in which the alkyl carbonate moiety is 2-alkyl-2-phenyl substituted. The compounds are useful as polymerization initiators of ethylenically unsaturated monomers, such a vinyl chloride, and as catalysts of unsaturated polyester resins. The subject peroxydicarbonates are characterized in that they are solid at room temperature, have ambient temperature stability in spite of a low 10 hour half-life temperature, and can normally be transported and stored without refrigeration.

Di(2-methyl-2-phenyl propyl) peroxy dicarbonate and other novel

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.degree. to 200.degree. C. range.

Preparation of lower trialkyltin hydride from trialkyltin chloride

A trialkyltin chloride in which the alkyl groups have from about one to six carbon atoms is prepared, without detectable tetraalkyltin, from the corresponding dialkyltin dichloride in one step and in high yield using a catalyst mixture comprising a trihydrocarbylamine or trihydrocarbylphosphine and stannic chloride.
