Toxicity
Example:SnMe3Cl vs. SnBu3Cl
LD50 12.6 mg/kg 129 mg/kg (NaCN LD50: 4.8 mg/kg)
Toxicity• Ingestion, inhalation, or skin exposure • Skin, eye irritation• Neurotoxin
– Accumulates in parts of the brain– Dizzyness, vertigo, memory loss, aggressiveness…
• Reproductive toxicity in lab animals• Not really carcinogenic• Also,

Handling
• Proper PPE – Protect eyes, hands, skin
• Chlorides – avoid contact with moisture• Hydrides – handle under inert gas atmosphere• Disposal:
– Wash contaminated equipment with organic solvent, into container, tag for pickup
– Same for small spills (larger spills, call EHS)
How to get rid of R3Sn-X byproducts from your reactions

1) n-BuLi
2) Ar-Br Ar-SnR3 ( + SnR3-Br or Cl)
• Vigorously stir crude reaction mixture (in organic solvent) with 1M NaOH for 1h
• Separate organic phase, filter through silica
• R3Sn-X is converted to polar R3Sn-OH, which does not elute on silica gel
