Summary 1. The photochemical reaction between tetraethyltin and propyl bromide goes by a free radical chain mechanism. As well as bromotriethyltin, ethane, ethylene, propane, and propene are formed, and the relative amounts of these depend on the proportions of the reactants taken. 2. The same type of reaction is found in that initiated by benzoyl peroxide between tetraethyltin and propyl bromide. 3. In the free-radical reactions of benzoyl peroxide with propyl bromide and with 1,2-dibromoethane the latter are hydrogen donors and only to a small extent bromine-donors. The secondary CH2CHCH2Br and CHBrCH2Br radicals formed break down with formation of atomic bromine and the corresponding olefin.
