How is Triethoxy(octyl)silane (CAS: 1385031-14-0) typically synthesized?

Triethoxy(octyl)silane is synthesized through a reaction between octyl chloride and triethoxy silane. The reaction is typically catalyzed by a strong base such as sodium hydride. The process involves the displacement of the chlorine atom in octyl chloride by the ethoxy group from the triethoxy silane, resulting in high selectivity and yield.
