Hexa-n-butylditin is used in palladium-catalyzed tin-carbon bond formation. It finds useful application in deoxygenation and desulfurization reactions. It acts as a source of tributylstannyl radicals in synthetic chemistry. It is also used in the radioiodination of styrlpyridines. Further, it is used as a reagent to stannylate aryl halides for further Stille coupling.
This Thermo Scientific brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific.
