The factors affecting the reaction, such as the catalyst dosage, reaction time and solvent, etc. were discussed. The results show that the three tetraorganodistannoxanes displayed similar good catalytic activities compared to dichlorotetrabutyldistannoxane in esterification and acetalization. When the dosage of [ClBu2SnOSn-(CH2SiMe3)2Cl]2 was 1.5% based on the mass of reactant, the yield of isoamyl acetate was 91.8% and the yield of butyraldehyde glycol acetal 94.2%. The different alkyl and bridging groups on Sn sites in the structure of tetraorganodistannoxanes showed some influence on the catalytic activities of these compounds.
