Abstract
Tributenyltin compounds containing double bonds at C-1 or C-3 or combinats thereof are synthesized from symmetrical tetrabutenyltins to offer a sufficient toxicity to function as a biocide or an antifoulant compound for ships' hulls and have an increased rate of degradation to be compatable with the environment.
Claims1
A method of reducing marine organisms on a ship's hull which comprises administering an effective amount of tributenyltin bromides having double bonds at carbon atoms C-1 or C-3 to remove said organisms from a ship's hull.
