Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)92618-4

Diorganotin dichlorides and dibromides can be prepared by a simple and convenient one-step process involving the reaction of Grignard reagent with (Acac)2SnX2 (Acac H = pentane-2,4-dione; X = Cl or Br).The yields of lower diorganotin dihalides are excellent while those of higher diorganotin dihalides are moderate.
