Product Information

• Name: Trimethylchlorosilane
• Synonyms: TMSClChlorotrimethylsilaneTrimethylsilyl chlorideTMCS
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trimethylchlorosilane is a model system for the study of chloride ion transport across lipid membranes. It has been shown that this molecule can form a disulfide bond with glutathione and may have synergistic effects with other drugs, such as metronidazole, to treat bowel disease. Trimethylchlorosilane can also be used in analytical methods for measuring chloride ions in wastewater and other samples. The x-ray crystal structures of trimethylchlorosilane anhydrous sodium salt have been determined at room temperature. The hydrogen fluoride molecule binds to the pyrazole ring and the chlorine atom forms a covalent bond with the hydroxyl group on one of the water molecules. The reaction solution is heated to produce trimethylchlorosilane, which is then cooled to room temperature again, during which time it crystallizes out of solution.
