Dibutyl(dimethoxy)silane(CAS: 18132-63-3)

Dibutyl(dimethoxy)silane (CAS: 18132-63-3) is a colorless liquid with a molecular weight of approximately 280.43 g/mol. It has a low boiling point and is poorly soluble in water but miscible with organic solvents. It is reactive towards moisture and acidic/alkaline substances.

Dibutyl(dimethoxy)silane is typically synthesized by the reaction of dimethoxy silane with n-butanol, often catalyzed by a strong base such as potassium tert-butoxide. The process is selective and yields high purity products with good yield.

Dibutyl(dimethoxy)silane (CAS: 18132-63-3) is primarily used in the pharmaceuticals, polymers, and semiconductors industries for its reactivity and stability. It is also used in the production of sensors and as a chemical intermediate.

When handling Dibutyl(dimethoxy)silane (CAS: 18132-63-3), it is essential to use personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and goggles. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and sources of ignition. In case of spill, it should be disposed of according to the safety data sheet (SDS) guidelines.
