This paper describes the dehalogenation of water soluble and water insoluble organohalides in water by tri-n-butyltin hydride (TBTH), preformed TBTH and triphenyltin hydride (TPTH) in water. TBTH in the presence of a radical trap, and Ph₄Sn were also found to effect nucleophilic substitution of 2-iodobenzoates in the presence of various nucleophiles.
