The reactions of diphenyltin with the following reagents have been examined: hydrogen peroxide, chlorine, bromine, iodine, sulfur, benzoquinone, benzoyl peroxide, dibenzyl disulfide, stannic chloride, mercuric chloride, diphenyltin dichloride. Diphenyltin forms a complex with boron trifluoride which disproportionates in boiling benzene to tetraphenyltin and metallic tin. Nitrobenzene and benzil catalyze the polymerization of diphenyltin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
