Description
Chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) is a silylating agent employed in the silylation of alcohols, amines, carboxylic acids, thiols, and other functional groups. Silyl group serves as a protecting group for these original functional groups.Application:Chlorotrimethylsilane (TMSCl) can be used as a reagent:To synthesize allenylsilane via carbolithiation of conjugated enynes with aryllithium.In the reductive coupling of aldehydes and ketones to produce corresponding 1,2 diols in the presence of zirconocene dichloride and magnesium.To prepare 4,4′-bis(trimethylsilyl)bicyclohexyl-2,2′-diene from 1,3-cyclohexadiene by reductive disilylation reaction
