Description

Application

Tin(II) chloride has been used for the reduction of hydroperxoxides to the corresponding alcohols in a study.[1]

Tin(II) chloride may be used:

• To catalyze the addition of diazo sulfones, diazo phosphine oxides and diazo phosphonates to aldehydes to form β-keto sulfones, β-keto phosphine oxides and β-keto phosphonates, respectively.[2]
• Along with trityl chloride, to catalyze the aldol reaction of silyl enol ethers with acetals or aldehydes and the Michael reaction of silyl enol ethers with α,β-unsaturated ketones.[3]
• As a promoter in the allylic amination of allylic alcohols with amines in the presence of palladium catalyst.[4]

General description

Tin(II) chloride (Stannous chloride, SnCl₂) is widely employed as reducing reagent.[5] It plays significant role in diverse fields of science. Since it exhibits superior catalytic action in molten state, it is employed for the hydroliquefaction of coals. It is a promising raw material for the chemical vapour deposition (CVD) of semiconducting layers.[6] It can be prepared by reacting its dihydrate form with acetic anhydride. It exhibits reducing properties in acidic media.[5] It participates in the reduction of the following compounds:[5]

• aromatic nitro compounds
• nitriles
• cyanosilyl ethers
• organic azides

On mixing sodium cyanoborohydride with SnCl₂ in a 2:1 ratio, a reducing reagent mixture is obtained. This reagent is useful for the reduction of tertiary, allyl and benzyl halides.[5]
