Notes:
A number of organotin compounds of the type RnSn Y4-n, where R = alkyl or aryl; Y = alkylthio, arylthio or carbothiolate; and n = 1, 2, 3 have been prepared and treated with hydrogen chloride at 180°C in o-dichlorobenzene solution. The organotin compounds were also tested at 190°C as thermal stabilizers for PVC. Cleavage of tin-carbon bonds by hydrogen chloride was demonstrated in some cases by analysis of the organotin-hydrogen chloride reaction products. The formation of monoalkyl(aryl)tin chlorides or stannic chloride, or both, in the model system was shown to correspond to a catastrophic mode of degradation in the polymer. The use of stabilizers with fewer than two alkyl or aryl groups on tin also gave this mode of degradation.
