Diethyl(methyl)silane(CAS: 760-32-7)

Diethyl(methyl)silane is a colorless, flammable liquid with the CAS number 760-32-7. It has a strong, distinctive odor and is used in various applications including pharmaceuticals, electronics, and research. The chemical formula is (CH3)Si(CH2CH2CH3)2.

Diethyl(methyl)silane is primarily used in the production of organosilicon compounds, as a solvent, and in the manufacturing of adhesives and sealants. It is also used in the electronics industry for cleaning purposes and in pharmaceuticals as a solvent for active pharmaceutical ingredients.

Diethyl(methyl)silane is generally safe when handled with proper precautions. However, it can be toxic if inhaled or ingested and can cause skin and eye irritation. Protective measures include using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a respirator. Avoid contact with skin and eyes, and ensure proper ventilation.

Diethyl(methyl)silane should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and oxidizers. Containers should be tightly sealed and stored in a dry, cool environment to prevent degradation. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and maintain a temperature below 32°C (89.6°F) to prevent evaporation and ensure safety.
