Tin Scavenging with SiliaMetS Cysteine & TAAcONa
> back to SiliaMetS Case Studies
Organotin compounds are versatile reagents commonly used in organic synthesis. The two main applications are in Stille couplings or in radical reactions. The removal of tin residues can often be an issue due to the well known high toxicity of this metal.
Traditional removal methods for this particular type of impurity are treatment with an aqueous solution of KF, NH4OH or NaOH, or with bases such as DBU. However, the efficiency of these methods can vary and may be inapplicable for particular compounds.
SiliaMetS Cysteine & TAAcONa can be used as an efficient method to remove tin residues from organic mixtures as demonstrated by the exemples below.
