C3H9SiCl
C3H9SiCl, also known as chlorotrimethylsilane or TMSCl, is an organosilicon compound with the chemical formula (CH3)3SiCl. It is a colorless, volatile liquid with a pungent odor. TMSCl is a key reagent in organic synthesis and is widely used in chemistry laboratories.
The primary use of chlorotrimethylsilane is as a silylating agent. It reacts with hydroxyl (-OH), amino (-NH2),
Chlorotrimethylsilane is also used in the synthesis of other organosilicon compounds, including silicone polymers. It serves
Industrially, TMSCl is produced by the direct process, reacting methyl chloride with silicon in the presence
