Triethylsilane

Triethylsilane is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of -128.3°C and a density of 0.81 g/mL at 20°C. It is soluble in water, ethanol, ether, and acetone but insoluble in benzene or chloroform. Triethylsilane is used as a reagent to prepare biological samples for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or electron microscopy (EM). The reaction mechanism of triethylsilane involves the hydroxyl group that reacts with hydrogen fluoride to form hydrofluoric acid and alcohols. Triethylsilane has been shown to have properties that are similar to those of serotonin, such as its ability to bind to 5-ht2 receptors on the cell membrane and activate the enzyme adenylate cyclase, which increases intracellular levels of cyclic AMP. This chemical also possesses hydrogen bonding interactions with other molecules due to its high polarity.

<p>Applications Triethylsilane is a trialkylsilicon hydride used in the synthesis of alkylsilanes via hydrosilation of olefins. Triethylsilane is also used as an effective reducing agent.<br> Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package<br>References Cesca, S. et al.: Chim.

<p>Triethylsilane is used for the hydrosilation of olefins to prepare alkyl silanes. It acts as a reducing agent in the reduction of 2-chromanols, since it has an active hydride. It acts as a catalyst for redox initiated cationic polymerization, regioselective reductive coupling of enones and allenes, </p>
