Tin(IV) chloride, also known as tin tetrachloride or stannic chloride, is an inorganic compound with the formula SnCl4. It is a colourless hygroscopic liquid, which fumes on contact with air. It is used as a precursor to other tin compounds.
Applications in high organic synthesis
Although a specialized application, SnCl4 is used in Friedel-Crafts reactions as a Lewis acidic catalyst for alkylation and cyclisation. Stannic chloride is used in chemical reactions with fuming (90%) nitric acid for the selective nitration of activated aromatic rings in the presence of inactivated ones.
Uses
The main application of SnCl4 is as a precursor to organotin compounds, which are used as catalysts and polymer stabilizers It can be used in a sol-gel process to prepare SnO2 coatings (for example for toughening glass); nanocrystals of SnO2 can be produced by refinements of this method.
