CAS 5936-98-1

(Trichloromethyl)trimethylsilane

Description:

(Trichloromethyl)trimethylsilane, with the CAS number 5936-98-1, is an organosilicon compound characterized by the presence of both silicon and chlorine atoms. It features a silicon atom bonded to three methyl groups and one trichloromethyl group, making it a silane derivative. This compound is typically a colorless liquid with a pungent odor and is known for its reactivity, particularly due to the presence of the trichloromethyl group, which can participate in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. It is often used in organic synthesis and as a reagent in the preparation of other silicon-containing compounds. The presence of chlorine atoms also contributes to its potential use in applications such as surface modification and as a coupling agent. However, due to its reactivity and potential hazards, including toxicity and environmental concerns, proper handling and safety precautions are essential when working with this substance.

Formula: C₄H₉Cl₃Si

Trimethyl(trichloromethyl)silane

CAS: 5936-98-1

Trimethyl(trichloromethyl)silane is a chlorinating agent that reacts with hydrocarbons to form quinones. It is synthesized in the liquid phase and reacts with aldehydes, amines, and sodium formate to produce the trichloromethylated product. Trimethyl(trichloromethyl)silane is activated by electron deficiency and can be used to circumvent functional groups such as hydroxyl or carbonyl. This chemical also has properties that are not shared by other chlorinating agents, such as its ability to react with hydrogen fluoride without forming hydrochloric acid.
