Isobutyltrichlorosilane is a hydrolysis product of silicon tetrachloride that is used as a reagent in organic synthesis. It is synthesized by the reaction of hydrochloric acid and isobutanol. Isobutyltrichlorosilane has been shown to react with water and hydrogen chloride to form hydrogen fluoride and hydrochloric acid. The addition of a control agent such as sodium hydroxide can help regulate the rate of the reaction. This chemical has an exothermic reaction, which is controlled by kinetic energy. Isobutyltrichlorosilane has functional groups that are cleaved when heated in an organic solvent with water or alcohols, such as methanol or ethanol. These cleavage products can be identified using gravimetric analysis.
