1-Ethoxy-2-(tributylstannyl)ethene is a versatile synthon for acetaldehyde anion.
cis-1-Ethoxy-2-(tri-n-butylstannyl)ethylene is widely used in pharmaceutical research and as reagent.
1-Ethoxy-2-(tributylstannyl)ethene is prepared in high yield by the reductive hydrostannation of Ethoxyacetylene with Tri-n-butylstannane.
organostannane reagents are potentially toxic; their preparation and use must therefore be conducted wearing appropriate protective clothing in a well ventilated hood. The reagent should be stored under an inert atmosphere and protected from light and moisture.
