General description: Chlorotrimethylsilane is a chloroorganosilane compound mainly used for silylation reactions.

Application: Used in Fisher Glycosylation

Application: Chlorotrimethylsilane may be used to synthesize sodium trimethylsilanethiolate (Me3SiSNa) by reacting with sodium sulfide. This protocol is an odorless alternative to the conventional method of synthesizing Me3SiSNa from foul-smelling bis(trimethylsilyl)sulfide and sodium methoxide.Some of its other applications include:. Trapping agent for the anions generated during acyloin condensation.. As a better alternative to the toxic mercuric chloride, for the activation of samarium(Sm) in the Sm-promoted cyclopropanation of both allylic and α-allenic alcohols.. Catalyze the trans-esterification of triglycerides with alcohols to form fatty acid alkyl esters.. Along with lithium bromide, for the conversion of alcohols to the corresponding bromides
