Tetraethyltin

Description:
Tetraethyltin, with the CAS number 597-64-8, is an organotin compound characterized by its four ethyl groups attached to a tin atom. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid at room temperature, exhibiting a distinctive odor reminiscent of garlic. Tetraethyltin is known for its high volatility and low solubility in water, making it more soluble in organic solvents. This compound is primarily used as a reagent in organic synthesis and as a stabilizer in the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC). However, it is also recognized for its toxicity, particularly to aquatic organisms, and poses environmental hazards due to its potential to bioaccumulate. Safety precautions are essential when handling tetraethyltin, as it can cause skin and eye irritation and has been associated with neurotoxic effects. Its chemical structure allows for various reactions, including hydrolysis and oxidation, which can lead to the formation of other tin compounds. Overall, tetraethyltin is a significant compound in both industrial applications and environmental chemistry.
