Description

21~0rj~))8 Process for the Direct Synthesis of Organotin Chlorides and Their Use !

Specification The present invention relates to a process for the di-. rect synthesis of organotin chlorides of the general formula RnSnCl4-n n = 1 - 2 and R being a linear or branched or cycloaliphatic alkyl having 4 to 18 carbon atoms, . :

including mixtures of such compounds by reacting tin(II) chloride with alkyl chlorides and the use of the produced organotin chlorides.

The reaction between tin(II) chloride and alkyl chlo-rides is a known reaction according to the following stoichiometry:

SnC12 + R'-Cl --> R'SnC13 (R' = alkyl) In the course o~ such a synthesis, the following reac-tion follows as a side reaction:

R'4Sn, R'3SnCl, R'2SnC12, R'SnC13 Processes for the direct synthesis of organotin halides are already described in numerous patents, in particular using alkyl bromides and iodides as starting halides.

It is e.g. known from US-PS 3 ~57 868 that the reaction of the direct synthesis is promoted by the presence of tertiary amines and/or quaternary a~monium salts, whereby the latter can be formed "in situ" from the used tertiary amine and the used alkyl halide.
, The reaction is furthermore promoted by the presence of polar solvents and/or catalyzers, which can react with the tin. For this purpose alcohols, esters or amides are occasionally used.

In the direct synthesis of alkyl tin halides alkyl chlorides have a lower reactivity with respect to me-tallic tin or tin(II) chloride as co~pared with the corresponding alkyl bromides and iodides.

Moreover, ~he reaction rate and the yield of desired reaction product decreases with an increasing number of carbon atoms in the alkyl chain within the alkyl chlo-rides, it being already difficult to carry out the di-rect synthesis i~ C4 alkyl chloride (butyl chloride) is used. The al~yl tin halides are consequently often pro-duced using the corresponding alkyl aluminum compounds . .. , , . . .- . ,.. .. " .. .:.. , ........ : . , . , . ~ . : . . :

The present invention is based on the object of provid-ing a process for the direct synthesis of organotin chlorides from tin(II) chloride using ~lkyl chlorides with four or more C atoms which can be carried out in simple fashion and with a good yield.

This object is attained according to the invention by a process of the type mentioned at the beginning, which is characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the presence of amines of the general formula :; `
A) Rla N [(CH2CH20)m CH2CH2R2]3 a and/or ammonium chlorides of the formula B3 Rlb N~ [(CH2CH20)m CH2CH2R 34-b Cl a = 0, 1 or 2;

The present invention relates especially to the direct synthesis of organotin chlorides starting from alkyl chlorides, the use of which has been more difficult so far due to their low reactivity than that of the corresponding bromides and iodides.

According to the invention it became surprisingly ap-parent that the direct synthesis of organotin chlorides by reacting tin(II) chloride with alkyl chlorides can be carried out very effectively and efficiently if the reaction is carried out in the presence of amines of the aforementioned formula A or ammonium chlorides of the aforementioned formula B. If amines of the formula A are used, quaternary ammonium salts are formed in situ.

The reaction is suitably carried out at a temperature between 20 and 200C, preferably between 140 and 190C
in the presence of 0.05 to 4 mole, especially preferred of 0.33 to 0.5 mole, of the amine of the formula A
and/or of the ammonium chloride of the formula B per mole of tin(II) chloride. The reaction time is suitably 3 to 24 hours, preferably 6 to 10 hours. Moreover, the reaction is suitably carried out with 1 to 6 mole, preferably 1 to 3 mole of alkyl chloride per mule of tin(II) chloride. Butyl, octyl or dodecyl chloride are preferably used as alkyl chlorides for the direct syn-thesis.

According to another embodiment metallic tin can addi-tionally be used for the direct synthesis in addition to tin(II) chloride. Mixtures of monoalkyl tin and dialkyl tin chlorides can be obtained as reaction prod-ucts.

The amine and/or the ammonium chloride can be recovered subsequently after the completed reaction by known chemical processes and be used again. Distillation un-der reduced pressure can be carried out for recovering the non-reacted alkyl chloride and/or the possibly used solvent.

The organotin chlorides produced according to the in-vention are especially suited as intermediate products for the production of thermostabilizers, e.g. alkyl tin mercapto compounds, for PVC resins.

The following examples explain the invention.

The reaction products were analyzed using thin-layer chromatography.

Example 1 .
An ammonium chloride of the formula [(C4H9)3 N~ tCH~ CH2 OCH2 CH2 OCH2 CH20~] . Cl (MW 353.9; 95.5 g; 0.27 mole), SnCl2 anhydrous (MW 189.62; 51.2 g; 0.27 mole) and octyl chloride (MW 148.7; 60 g; 0.4 mole) . are added to a ~lask provided with stirrer, thermometer and cooler.

The dissolution of SnC12 in ammonium chloride is exo-thermal, the temperature increasing to 60C. The reac-tion itself is carried out with stirring at 160 to 165C for 8 hours.

The unreacted octyl chloride is distilled off after the reaction has taken place. 54.7 g of monooctyl tin trichloride is obtained by means of solYent extraction.

No further alkyl tin derivatives could be detected by means of thin layer chromatography.
Yield: 60~.
' Example 2 Tin powder (50 g; 0.42 mole), SnCl2 anhydrous (112.5 g; 0,59 mole) and diethyl ethoxy ethanol amine of the formula (C2H5)2 - N CH2CH20CH2CH20H (MW 161.25; 22~5 g; 0.14 mole) were added to a reaction flask provided with thermome-ter, cooler, stirrer and dropping funnel.
The reaction is carried out at 180C, 195.5 g (1.31 mole) of octyl chloride being added dropwise for 6 hours and the temperature being kept at 180C.

After the complete addition of the octyl chloride, the reaction mixture is maintained at this temperature for : -:~ ~ . . , , . , . . : , ,, :

The yield of monooctyl tin trichloride, ~ased on a used tin(II) chloride, is 85.0%. 90% of the used tin metal were reacted.

The final product has the following composition:
50.9% monooctyl tin trichloride and 4B.1% dioctyl tin dichloride.

and SnC12 anhydrous (MW 189.62; 100 g; 0.527 mGle) are added to a flask provided with stirrer, thermometer and cooler.
Butyl chloride (MW 92.5) i5 introduced into the flask at 160 to 170C at such a rate that the temperature re-mains approximately constant for 8 hours.

During this time, approx. 34 g (0.3676 mole) of butyl chloride are reacted. Then, the reaction mixture is filtered, and monobutyl tin trichloride (MW 282.2) is distilled at reduced pressure. The yield of monobutyl . .
