General description

Dibutyltin(IV) oxide is an organotin compound that is commonly used as a Lewis acid catalyst in organic synthesis. For instance, it can be used for the formation of carbon-carbon bonds through coupling reactions and in the preparation of esters from carboxylic acids and alcohols. It also finds use in allylation reactions, cycloaddition reactions, and ring-opening polymerizations.

Dibutyltin oxide-mediated regioselective chloroacetylation of methyl 1-thio-beta-xylobioside, followed by treatment of the product with 4-methylbenzoyl chloride-pyridine, gave methyl 4-O-chloroacetyl-2,3-di-O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->4) -2.3-di - O-(4-methylbenzoyl)-1-thio-beta-D-xylopyranoside (18) in 70% yield. Coupling of 18 with benzyl alcohol afforded the disaccharide benzyl beta-glycoside, which was O-dechloroacetylated

A mild and efficient neutral method for the cleavage of O-acetyl groups with dibutyltin oxide has been developed. This method is especially useful in the synthesis of glycosides containing base- or acid-sensitive multifunctional groups.

Nine complexes of adenosine and related compounds (adenosine-5'-monophosphate, adenosine-5'-triphosphate, 1-methyl-adenosine, pyridoxal-5-phosphate and beta-nicotinamide-adenine-dinucleotide-phosphoric acid) with di-n-butyltin(IV) oxide and/or di-n-butytin(IV) dichloride were prepared in the solid state. The compositions of the complexes were determined by standard analytical methods. It was found

2- and 4-Nitrophenyl beta-D-xylopyranosides (4 and 5) were transformed, via dibutyltin oxidemediated acylation, into the corresponding 2,3-di-O-benzoyl derivatives 11 and 15. Xylobiose and xylotriose were easily isolated by charcoal column chromatography from a commercially available material and converted into the

For partial phenylcarbamoylation of the hydroxy-groups of ribonucleosides, dibutyltin oxide--phenyl isocyanate system was found to be surperior to the bis(tributyltin) oxide--phenyl isocyanate system from the standpoint of reaction procedures including isolation of the products; the reaction was proved to occur

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
