Disclosed are monovinyltin trihalides of he general formula (I):

Monovinyltin trihalides and process for their preparation

Disclosed are aqueous dispersions of dibutyltin oxide which contain water, dibutyltin oxide in substantial amounts on the order of 50 to 75 wt. %, as well as a fatty acid ethoxylate surfactant, a suspending agent, and a viscosity modifier component of one or more C.sub.12 -C.sub.24 fatty acids and/or alkali metal salts thereof.

Stable aqueous dispersions of dibutyltin oxide

Stabilization of alkyltin compounds that are liquid at room temperature, especially alkyltin trihalides, is achieved by addition of 0.1 to 10 wt. % of one or more compounds that are soluble in the alkyltin compounds and that are reactive with water.

Process for the stabilization of organotin halides by lactams and/or

The present invention relates to a method of preparing hexaalkyl distannanes by converting bis-[trialkyltin]oxide with a stabilized solution of sodium borohydride in alcohol, preferably methanol, in the presence of an inert solvent.

Method of preparing distannanes

The invention concerns a method of preparing trialkyl-tin hydrides by a process that ensures outstanding long-term stability. Bis-[trialkyl-tin]oxides are dissolved in a solvent that mixes only to some extent, if at all, with water and converted with an aqueous solution of sodium borohydride stabilized with a base. The product is obtained by phase separation and optionally by distillation. The trialkyl-tin hydride is obtained almost quantitatively with a yield of more than 95%.
