Product Information

• Name: Trimethyl(trichloromethyl)silane
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 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.
