Stannic iodide, reaction

Concentrated hydrochloric acid also dissolves the trichloride, about 100 g. of the latter dissolving in 1 litre of acid at 100° C.7 Dissolution in hydriodic acid is accompanied by evolution of heat and the triiodide is formed.8 Ethyl iodide reacts similarly.9 Double decomposition reactions occur w hen arsenic trichloride is heated with phosphorus triiodide, stannic iodide or germanium iodide, the reactions being complete.10 Similarly, potassium iodide heated with arsenic trichloride in a sealed tube at 210° C., and potassium bromide at 180° to 200° C., form respectively arsenic triiodide and tribromide.11 Stannous chloride, added to the solution in hydrochloric acid, causes reduction to arsenic (see p. 29). Arsenic trichloride may be completely separated from germanium chloride by extraction with concentrated hydrochloric acid.12 Ammonium, sodium and cobaltic chlorides react with arsenic trichloride to form additive compounds with magnesium, zinc and chromic chlorides there is no reaction.13... 

The reaction of higher alkyl chlorides with tin metal at 235°C is not practical because of the thermal decomposition which occurs before the products can be removed from the reaction zone. The reaction temperature necessary for the formation of dimethyl tin dichloride can be lowered considerably by the use of certain catalysts. Quaternary ammonium and phosphonium iodides allow the reaction to proceed in good yield at 150—160°C (109). An improvement in the process involves the use of amine—stannic chloride complexes or mixtures of stannic chloride and a quaternary ammonium or phosphonium compound (110). Use of these catalysts is claimed to yield dimethyl tin dichloride containing less than 0.1 wt % trimethyl tin chloride. Catalyzed direct reactions under pressure are used commercially to manufacture dimethyl tin dichloride. 

Hydrogen haHde addition to vinyl chloride in general yields the 1,1-adduct (50—52). The reactions of HCl and hydrogen iodide [10034-85-2], HI, with vinyl chloride proceed by an ionic mechanism, while the addition of hydrogen bromide [10035-10-6], HBr, involves a chain reaction in which a bromine atom [10097-32-2] is the chain carrier (52). In the absence of a transition-metal catalyst or antioxidants, HBr forms the 1,2-adduct with vinyl chloride (52). HF reacts with vinyl chloride in the presence of stannic chloride [7646-78-8], SnCl, to form 1,1-difluoroethane [75-37-6] (53). 

The gas or liq may attack organic matter with expl violence (Ref 11). Instances of violent reactions with ammonia, sulfur trioxide, stannic bromide and iodide are documented (Ref 12)... 

Furthermore, the preparation and reactions of 2-methoxythiophene were studied by Sice (70). This compound was obtained by a copper catalysed Williamson synthesis. It was also found that iodothiophene reacted readily with sodium alkoxides, whereas bromothiophene reacted slowly and chlorothiophene did not react at all. Sodium iodide accelerated the reaction of bromothiophene. The ortho, para orienting alkoxy group on carbon atom 2 increased the directive influence of the sulphur atom to the 5 position but competed with it to induce some attack on the 3 position by electrophilic reagents (nitration, acylation). The acylation of 2-methoxythiophene with stannic chloride at low temperatures furnished a mixture of two isomers. The 5-methoxy-2-acetothienone was obtained in higher yield and was identified by its ultraviolet absorption spectrum. 

Tin triethyl phenyl is obtained as an oil, B.pt. 254 C., from the reaction mixture derived from heating together tin triethyl iodide (1 moL), bromobenzene (1 mol.), and metallic sodium. It forms a colourless liquid, which has to be distilled in hydrogen, since it is partially oxidised in the air, has a fairly pleasant odour, burns with a sooty flame, depositing metallic tin. It is highly refractive, and has a density 1-2639 at 0 C., is easily soluble in alcohol and ether, but insoluble in water. With alcoholic silver nitrate, iodine, fuming hydrochloric acid, and stannic chloride, the following reactions take place —... 

When sodium vapour reacts with stannic chloride, bromide or iodide [89], a continuous chemOuminescence, which is emitted during the primary reaction, occurs. It was pointed out that neither Class I nor Class II mechanisms were applicable. The explanation suggested [55, 89] is the formation of SnCls radicals followed by a luminescent disproportionation reaction, the luminescence being associated with an electronic transition from the Sn" CI2 passing to the stable Sn Cl2 state...
