Product Information

• Name: Chlorotriethylsilane
• Synonyms: TriethylchlorosilaneTriethylsilyl Chloride
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chlorotriethylsilane is a silylating agent that reacts with hydroxyl groups to form chloroethoxysilanes. It is used to prepare the 10-desacetyl paclitaxel intermediate, which is a precursor of paclitaxel, an anticancer drug. The reaction solution is typically prepared by mixing the reagents in a flow system and then treated with water vapor. This reaction produces hydrochloric acid as a by-product, so it must be conducted under an inert atmosphere or in a dry box. Chlorotriethylsilane also reacts with fatty acids to form chloroethoxy fatty acid esters that are used as detergents for fats and oils. Chlorotriethylsilane can react with terpenes and dibutyltin oxide to produce chlorodibutyltin compounds that are used as lubricants and antifouling agents for metal surfaces. Chlorotriethylsilane can
