Applications
Hexa-n-butylditin is used in palladium-catalyzed tin-carbon bond formation. It finds useful application in deoxygenation and desulfurization reactions. It acts as a source of tributylstannyl radicals in synthetic chemistry. It is also used in the radioiodination of styrlpyridines. Further, it is used as a reagent to stannylate aryl halides for further Stille coupling.

Solubility
Immiscible with water.

Notes
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.
