CAS 81631-65-4

Silane, trimethyl(4-propylphenyl)-

Description:

Silane, trimethyl(4-propylphenyl)-, with the CAS number 81631-65-4, is an organosilicon compound characterized by the presence of a silicon atom bonded to three methyl groups and one 4-propylphenyl group. This compound typically exhibits properties common to silanes, such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a relatively low viscosity. It is generally stable under standard conditions but may react with moisture, leading to the formation of silanol groups and potentially causing hydrolysis. The presence of the aromatic 4-propylphenyl group imparts unique chemical properties, including increased hydrophobicity and potential applications in surface modification and as a coupling agent in various materials. Additionally, trimethyl(4-propylphenyl)silane can be utilized in the synthesis of more complex silane derivatives and may serve as a precursor in the production of silicone polymers. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as organosilicon compounds can vary in toxicity and environmental impact.
