1-Methyl-4-silylbenzene

Description:

1-Methyl-4-silylbenzene, also known as p-methylphenylsilane, is an organosilicon compound characterized by the presence of a methyl group and a silyl group attached to a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a phenyl ring substituted at the para position with a methyl group and a silyl group, which typically contains silicon bonded to organic groups. This compound is generally colorless to pale yellow and exhibits a low to moderate volatility. It is soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of more complex silanes and siloxanes. The presence of the silicon atom imparts unique properties, such as enhanced thermal stability and potential reactivity in organosilicon chemistry. Additionally, 1-Methyl-4-silylbenzene can participate in various chemical reactions, including hydrosilylation and cross-coupling reactions, making it valuable in materials science and organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance.
