• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Tert-butyl diphenylchlorosilane is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of organosilicon compounds. It is used for the preparation of various organosilicon compounds, such as trifluoroacetic acid, which is used in analytical chemistry. The synthesis of tert-butyl diphenylchlorosilane starts with the reaction between hydrochloric acid and sodium citrate. This yields a phosphate bond and a hydroxyl group. In order to form the desired product, tert-butyl diphenylchlorosilane, this intermediate is reacted with trifluoroacetic acid in an asymmetric synthesis to yield the desired product. The reaction mechanism of this process involves hydrogen chloride as an electrophile attacking the carbonyl carbon atom in trifluoroacetic acid, leading to an elimination reaction. This elimination reaction results in two possible products: tert-butyl acetate or tert-butyl chloros
