Resistance triphenyltins

Other chemicals evaluated but not yet adopted commercially include organophosphorus compounds, triphenyltin compounds, quaternary ammonium salts, imidazoles, benzimidazoles, carbamates and the precocene anti-juvenile hormones [517]. Although none of the above has found use as an insect-resist agent, several have been used as antimicrobial agents for textiles. 

Reduction of aryl halides. Aryl halides have generally been considered to be resistant to hydrogenolysis by lithium aluminum hydride. However, Karabatsos and Shone2 found that certain aromatic halides are reduced by the reagent in diglyme at 100°. The order of reactivity is 1 > Br > Cl > F. These chemists concluded, however, that triphenyltin hydride is superior for this purpose.
