Description

General description

Chlorotrimethylsilane is a chloro-organosilane compound mainly used for silylation reactions.

Application

Possible usages of chlorotrimethylsilane:

• Chloromethylation of polysulfones (PSUs).
• Activation of lithium hydride to convert it into a hydride source for the reductive silylation of carbonyl compounds.
• Chlorotrimethylsilane/lithium bromide forms an effective reagent for the conversion of alcohols to bromides.
• Chlorotrimethylsilane is a non-toxic alternative to mercuric chloride in activating in samarium-promoted cyclopropanation of both allylic and α-allenic alcohols.

It is also used in Fisher glycosylation.
