Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to a process for synthesizing organo-tin halides by reacting an organic halide of the formula RX wherein R represents an organic, preferably alkyl or aryl radical whereas X represents halogen, with a finely divided solid alloy, consisting of tin and a catalyst of the class consisting of copper, gold and silver, so as to form a compound of the formula R n Sn X 4 -n wherein R and X have the meanings indicated here-above and n represents an integer equal to 1, 2 or 3 wherein any contact of alloy particles with one another is avoided by separating said particles in a fluidized bed by means of a fluid comprising said organic halide, by admixing refractory particles to the alloy particles and by stirring thoroughly the fluidized bed. The products made according to the invention are particularly useful for stabilizing chlorinated organic materials.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A process for synthesizing organo-tin halides of the formula R n Sn X 4 -n , wherein R represents an alkyl or aryl radical, X represents a halogen atom and n represents an integer equal to 1, 2 or 3, by reacting an organic halide of the formula RX, wherein R and X have the meanings indicated above, in the gaseous phase at a temperature between 300° and 400° C., with finely divided solid alloy particles consisting of tin and a catalyst of the group consisting of copper, gold and silver, characterized in that contact of the solid alloy particles, having a particle size between about 50 and 250 microns, with one another is avoided by separating said particles in a fluidized bed by means of a fluid, comprising said organic halide mixed with an inert gas, at a flow rate of 5 to 40 l/hour-cm2, by admixing refractory particles with said alloy particles and by thoroughly stirring the fluidized bed.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A process for synthesizing organo-tin halides of the formula R n Sn X 4 -n , wherein R represents an alkyl or aryl radical, X represents a halogen atom and n represents an integer equal to 1, 2 or 3, by reacting an organic halide of the formula RX, wherein R and X have the meanings indicated above, in the gaseous phase at a temperature between 300° and 400° C., with finely divided solid alloy particles consisting of tin and a catalyst of the group consisting of copper, gold and silver, characterized in that contact of the solid alloy particles, having a particle size between about 50 and 250 microns, with one another is avoided by separating said particles in a fluidized bed by means of a fluid, comprising said organic halide mixed with an inert gas, at a flow rate of 5 to 40 l/hour-cm2, by admixing refractory particles with said alloy particles and by thoroughly stirring the fluidized bed.
