Description:t-Butyldimethylsilanol, with the CAS number 18173-64-3, is an organosilicon compound characterized by its silanol functional group, which features a silicon atom bonded to hydroxyl (–OH) and alkyl groups. This compound typically exhibits a clear to pale yellow liquid appearance and is known for its low volatility and moderate viscosity. t-Butyldimethylsilanol is soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic alkyl groups. It is often utilized in various applications, including as a silane coupling agent, in silicone formulations, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. The presence of the t-butyl group contributes to its steric hindrance, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Additionally, this compound may exhibit properties such as thermal stability and resistance to oxidation, making it suitable for use in diverse industrial applications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance, as with many organosilicon compounds, due to potential irritant effects.
