The synthesis of triorganotin halides directly from tin is described. The addition of an alkyl halide to tin metal dispersed in a molten quaternary halide rapidly and selectively produces the trialkyltin halide and a by‐product containing the quaternary as a tin halide complex. The quaternary halide, the tin, and the halide ion are all recovered from the by‐product by electrolysis and reused.
