Synthesis and reactions
Tributyltin azide is synthesized by the salt metathesis reaction of tributyltin chloride and sodium azide.
It is a reagent used in the synthesis of tetrazoles, which in turn are used to generate angiotensin II receptor antagonists. In some applications, tributyltin azide has been replaced by the less toxic trioctyltin azide and organoaluminium azides.[1]
Safety
Lower alkyl tin compounds are often highly toxic and have penetrating odors. Tributyltin azide causes skin rashes, itching or blisters.[2][3]
