DI-N-BUTYLBIS(DODECYLTHIO)TIN
(Formula: (CX4HX9)X2Sn(SCX12HX25)2X

Core Identity

  • Type: Organotin compound with tetrahedral Sn center bound to two *n*-butyl groups (C₄H₉) and two dodecylthio groups (SC₁₂H₂₅).

  • Molar Mass: ≈631.6 g/mol.

Primary Use

  • PVC Thermal Stabilizer:

  • Prevents decomposition during high-temp processing (150–220°C).

  • Scavenges HCl, replaces unstable chlorides in PVC chains.

  • Critical for transparent products (bottles, films) due to minimal color distortion.

Advantages

  • Efficiency: Superior long-term stability vs. Ca/Zn alternatives.

  • Lubricity: Dodecyl chains reduce polymer friction during extrusion.

  • Toxicity: Safer than methyltin analogs (but still handle with precautions).

Regulations

  • Compliant with REACH/EPA for industrial use; restricted in food-contact applications without certification.

Note: Key for high-clarity PVC where performance justifies cost.


DI-N-BUTYLBIS(DODECYLTHIO)TIN (chemical formula: (C4H9)2Sn(SC12H25)2(C4H9)2Sn(SC12H25)2) is an organotin compound with specialized applications, primarily as a thermal stabilizer in polymer chemistry. Below is its detailed chemical profile:

Chemical Structure & Key Features

Core Framework:

    • Tin (Sn) center in a tetrahedral coordination.

    • Two n-butyl groups (CX4H9X) bonded to Sn via Sn-C bonds.

    • Two dodecylthio groups (−SC12H25−SC12H25) bonded to Sn via Sn-S bonds (dodecyl = 12-carbon chain).

    • Molecular Weight: ~631.6 g/mol.

      Bonding:

    • Sn-S bonds are thermally labile, enabling HCl scavenging in PVC degradation.

    • Long alkyl chains (C12H25) enhance compatibility with organic polymers.

Synthesis

Prepared via alkylation/thiylation:

SnCl4+2 C4H9MgBr→(C4H9)2SnCl2→2 C12H25SH(C4H9)2Sn(SC12H25)2SnClX4+2C4H9MgBr--->(C4H9)2SnCl2 ——2 C12H25SH____>  (C4H9)2Sn(SC12H25)2

Key reagents: Grignard reagent (n-butylmagnesium bromide) + dodecanethiol.

Primary Applications

PVC Thermal Stabilizer:

    • High efficiency in transparent PVC products (bottles, films).

    • Superior long-term stability vs. Ca/Zn stabilizers.

    • Absorbing liberated HCl.

    • Substituting labile chloride atoms in PVC chains.

    • Function: Prevents decomposition during high-temperature processing (150–200°C) by:

    • Advantages:

      Lubricant & Processing Aid:

    • Dodecyl chains reduce friction during PVC extrusion/molding.

      Niche Uses:

    • Antifouling coatings (limited due to eco-regulations).

    • Catalyst in urethane/polyester reactions.

Safety & Regulations

  • Toxicity: Lower than methyl/ethyltin analogs but still requires handling precautions (skin/eye irritant).

  • Environmental Impact: Regulated under EU REACH; restricted in consumer goods if leaching exceeds thresholds.

  • Storage: Stable under inert atmospheres; hydrolyzes slowly in moisture.

Key Chemical Properties

PropertyValue/Description
AppearancePale yellow liquid or low-melt solid
SolubilitySoluble in toluene, THF, chloroform
Thermal StabilityDecomposes >250°C (no sharp mp/bp)
ReactivityAir/moisture-sensitive (oxidizes)

Why This Structure Matters

The mixed alkyl/thiyl groups synergize:

  • Sn−SSnS bonds quench HCl radicals.

  • Long C12CX12-chains improve polymer miscibility and reduce plate-out.

  • n-Butyl groups balance reactivity and low toxicity.

Note: Competes with methyltin stabilizers but preferred for high-clarity applications. Always verify regional compliance (e.g., FDA 21 CFR for food-contact PVC).
