FAQ’S
What is Trimethylchlorosilane?
Trimethylchlorosilane is a colorless, fuming liquid with a pungent odor and a versatile reagent used in organic synthesis, materials science, and pharmaceutical chemistry.
What are the uses of Trimethylchlorosilane?
Trimethylchlorosilane introduces trimethylsilyl (TMS) groups into organic molecules, enhancing their volatility, stability, and derivatization capabilities. It can be used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in various reactions, such as the preparation of chalcones. It is a key precursor for the synthesis of silicone polymers and silicon-based materials. It is used to modify surfaces (e.g., glass, silicon) making them more hydrophobic and resistant to moisture. It is used in the synthesis of various drugs, including steroids and antibiotics.
What are the health effects associated with Trimethylchlorosilane?
Trimethylchlorosilane can cause severe skin and eye burns. Inhalation can cause irritation to the respiratory tract.
