in addition to the known water-soluble tributyltin compounds, N-tributyltin mesylimide [Bu,SnN-(S02Me2)J was prepared and proposed as a fungicide for water-based preservative formulations. The aqueous solubility of the new compound is in the range of 11.0-11.4% w/w at 25°C and its activity towards moulds (Aspergillus niger) is near that for tributyltin oxide. The compound has an average toxicity (LD, = 740 mg kg-I).
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.
