✦ Synopsis

Bis(tri-n-buty1)tin-I 13 oxide was prepared ,from tetrabutyltin and tin-I13 tetrachloride by redistribution reaction between alkyl groups, with the formation of the intermediate tri-n-butyltin-I13 chloride, which was hydrolyzed to form the desired product. Puri-Jication of the reaction mixture by alumina column chromatography, ,followed by thin layer chromatography, revealed a pure sample. The sample was also distilled under vacuum as a further check on the eficiency of the purijication methodology; radioactivity resided in the bis(tri-n-butyl) tin oxide fraction. Infra-red analysis of similarly prepared non-radioactive sample showed the Sn-0 -S n bond; the spectra agreed with published spectra, and with the spectra obtained in our laboratory from commercial samples.
