Résumé : The rates of the reactions of tetraalkyltins (R4Sn) with bromine in dimethylformamide and acetic acid solutions and with iodine in acetic acid are found to depend on steric effects (kMe> kEt > knPr), caused by the R3Sn leaving group. Trialkyltin bromides (R3SnBr) are cleaved by bromine in acetic acid in a reactivity sequence (kMe < kEt > knPr) which is best explained by an increasing importance of inductive effects.
