Tributyltin chloride Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Tributyltin chloride is also as Chlorotributyltin, is the chloride of tributyltin. It is a biocide that contaminates foods, especially shellfish. It is an endocrine disrupter in several marine species and is neurotoxic and immuno-toxic in mammals. It has been used as a heat stabilizer, agricultural pesticide and component of antifouling paints2. However, it is perhaps the most acutely toxic chemical to aquatic organisms ever deliberately introduced to water. It has been demonstrated to have an adverse effect on shellfish in France and England, and as a consequence the use of tributyltin‐containing antifouling paints has been restricted in these countries. Other countries have banned the use of tributyltin‐containing antifouling paints or are contemplating restrictions3.

Chemical Properties
Colorless or light yellow clear liquid. Soluble in the common organic solvents; including alcohol, heptane, benzene, and toluene; insoluble in cold water, but hydrolyzes in hot water.
Uses
Tributyltin Chloride is a triorganotin compound with insecticidal acitivity. It is an endocrine disruptor as well as an inhibitor for the V-ATPases (potential targets in the treatmen t of diseases such as osteoporosis and cancer). Tributyltin Chloride has the functions of antiseptic, sterilization and mildew proof and widely used in wood preservation, ship paint, etc. Further, it is used in hot end glass coating and rodent-repellent for cable coatings.
Preparation
Tributyltin chloride is prepared by a redistribution reaction by combining stannic chloride and tetrabutyltin:
3 (C4H9)4Sn + SnCl4 → 4 (C4H9)3SnCl.
Definition
ChEBI: Tributyltin chloride is an inorganic molecular entity.
Hazard
A poison by ingestion and skin contact. A severe eye irritant. Tributyl tin compounds are extremely toxic to marine life.
Flammability and Explosibility
Not classified
Toxicology
Tributyltin chloride (TBTCL) is a widely used biocide and heat stabiliser for PVC compositions. TBTCL has been detected in humans and may cause harmful effects on the thyroid, cardiovascular and other organs in humans. It is also an endocrine disruptor with toxic effects on the male reproductive system.TBTCL causes apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. Activation of endoplasmic reticulum stress and inhibition of autophagy are responsible for TBTCL-induced apoptosis and cell cycle arrest.
