Tin(II) acetate is used as a precursor in the production of tin anode, Sn-Cu bimetallic nanoparticles, high surface area tin oxide catalysts. It acts as Lewis acid catalysts for the esterification and transesterification reactions. It serves as an efficient catalytic system for carbon-hydrogen activation of methoxy group of anisole in presence of palladium(II) acetate. It plays an important role in stannous oral care compositions.
