TIN (II) BROMIDE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

off-white to grey crystalline powder

Uses

Stannous bromide acts a lewis acid. It is used to prepare alkyl tin compounds and in the spectrophotometric determination of iridium. It is involved in regioselective mono-etherfications of vicinal diols with diazo compounds. It acts as a catalyst to produce resinous lactone high polymers. It serves as a potent reducing agent.

Hazard

Skin irritant.

Solubility in water

Tin(II) Bromide  is soluble in water (85.2 g/100 mL at 0 °C, 222.5 g/100 mL at 100 °C), alcohol, ether, acetone.

storage

Tin(II) Bromide is corrosive and moisture sensitive. It should be stored in a tightly closed container protected from light.
