Mono-n-butyltin(IV) dichloride complex with the general formula [n-BuSnCl2(PAP)] has been synthesized by direct reaction of n-BuSnCl3 with pyruvic acid-2-pyridylhydrazone in the presence of KOH in equimolar ratio in absolute methanol under nitrogen atmosphere. Both, the ligand as well as the complex...
