(Chloromethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane(CAS: 1833-51-8)

(Chloromethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane has a crystalline form and a molecular weight of approximately 259.3 g/mol. It is slightly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is moderately reactive, likely undergoing substitution reactions and polymerization, though specific reactivity can vary with reaction conditions.

(Chloromethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane is typically synthesized through a reaction between chloromethylphenylsilane and dimethylamine. This process involves the substitution of a methyl group from dimethylamine onto the phenylsilane moiety, with careful control of temperature and stoichiometry to achieve high yield and selectivity.

(Chloromethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane is used in various industries including pharmaceuticals for synthesis of intermediates, polymers for functionalization, sensors for detecting specific chemicals, and semiconductors for doping applications. It is also used in the development of organic electronics and liquid crystal displays.

When handling (Chloromethyl)(dimethyl)phenylsilane, use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood. Ensure proper storage in a sealed container and avoid contact with food or drink. In case of spill, follow the safety data sheet (SDS) for appropriate cleanup procedures.
