Product Information

• Name: Tin(II) chloride dihydrate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tin(II) chloride dihydrate is a white or pale yellow crystalline solid. It is soluble in water and has a relatively low melting point. Tin(II) chloride dihydrate is used as an acid catalyst for the preparation of esters from ethyl trifluoroacetate, and as an intermediate for synthesizing quinoline derivatives. Tin(II) chloride dihydrate can also be used to deactivate fatty acids by reacting with them in the presence of water. The reaction vessel is heated to about 300°C to evaporate the solvent and leave a residue of tin chloride, which can then be recovered by distillation. Tin(II) chloride dihydrate has been shown to have transport properties that are similar to those of other metal chlorides at comparable concentrations.
