Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 7772-99-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Synthesis of tin(IV) octaethylcorroles was accomplished with this reagent. These new compounds exhibit reversible oxidation only at the conjugated ring system, not at the metal center.1
2. Tin (II) chloride is a strong reducing agent and is used in many industrial processes, such as manufacturing dyes, phosphors, and polymers. The compound is a major ingredient in acid tin plating baths. Other uses are a mordant in dyeing; an additive to lubricating oil to prevent sludging; a stablizier for perfume in soaps; in removing ink stains; a sensitizing agent for glass, paper, and plastics; and a soldering flux. Tin(II) chloride is used for preparing a number of tin(II) salts. It is a catalyst in many organic reactions. It is a common laboratory reagent.
3. Stannous Chloride is an antioxidant and preservative that exists as
white or colorless crystals, being very soluble in water. it reacts read-
ily with oxygen, preventing its combination with chemicals and
foods which would otherwise result in discoloration and undesirable
odors. it is used for color retention in asparagus at less than 20 ppm.
it is also used in carbonated drinks.
Definition
ChEBI: An inorganic chloride that has formula Cl2Sn.
General Description
Crystalline mass or flaky solid with a fatty appearance. Density 3.95 g / cm3. Melting point 247°C. Burns, but may be difficult to ignite. Toxic by ingestion. Irritates skin and eyes. Used in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and as a tanning agent.
Air & Water Reactions
Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
STANNOUS CHLORIDE is a powerful reducing agent. Can react violently with oxidizing agents. Undergoes flaming reaction with bromine trifluoride [Mellor 2 Supp. 1:164 1956]. Catalyzes the exothermic rearrangement and polymerization of ethylene oxide [J. Soc. Chem. Ind. 68:179 1949]. Mixtures with calcium carbide can be ignited with a match, and the reaction proceeds with incandescence [Mellor 7:430 1946-47]. Reacts with hydrazine hydrate to give stannous dihydrazine chloride which decomposes explosively when heated [Mellor 7:430 1946-47]. Undergoes a strongly exothermic reaction with aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide having concentration exceeding 3%) [Chem. & Ind., 1949, 657].
Hazard
Irritant to skin, use in foods restricted to
0.0015%, as tin.
Health Hazard
TOXIC; inhalation, ingestion or skin contact with material may cause severe injury or death. Contact with molten substance may cause severe burns to skin and eyes. Avoid any skin contact. Effects of contact or inhalation may be delayed. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.
Fire Hazard
Non-combustible, substance itself does not burn but may decompose upon heating to produce corrosive and/or toxic fumes. Some are oxidizers and may ignite combustibles (wood, paper, oil, clothing, etc.). Contact with metals may evolve flammable hydrogen gas. Containers may explode when heated.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion,
intraperitoneal, intravenous, and
subcutaneous routes. Experimental
reproductive effects. Human mutation data
reported. Potentially explosive reaction with
metal nitrates. Violent reactions with
hydrogen peroxide, ethylene oxide,
hydrazine hydrate, nitrates, K, Na. Ignition
on contact with bromine trifluoride. A
vigorous reaction with calcium acetylide is
initiated by flame. When heated to
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-.

Purification Methods
Analytical reagent grade stannous chloride dihydrate is dehydrated by adding it slowly to vigorously stirred, redistilled acetic anhydride (120g salt per 100g of anhydride) in a fume cupboard. After ca an hour, the anhydrous SnCl2 is filtered on to a sintered-glass or Büchner funnel, washed free from acetic acid with dry Et2O (2 x 30mL), and dried under vacuum. It is stored in a sealed container. [Stephen J Chem Soc 2786 1930, Williams Org Synth Coll Vol III 627 1955.]
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 7772-99-8 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 7,7,7 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 7772-99:
(6*7)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*2)+(2*9)+(1*9)=138
138 % 10 = 8
So 7772-99-8 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
