Diethoxymethylsilane is used in the preparation of N,N'-methylsilanediyl-bis-phthalimide by reacting with phthalimide. It is used as a reagent in the selective reduction of carbonyl compounds, hydorosilylation of alkenes, tandem reductive aldol reaction and rhodium-catalyszed silylcarbocyclization.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
Diethoxymethylsilane is used in the preparation of N,N′-methylsilanediyl-bis-phthalimide by reacting with phthalimide. It is used as a reagent in the selective reduction of carbonyl compounds, hydorosilylation of alkenes, tandem reductive aldol reaction and rhodium-catalyszed silylcarbocyclization.
Solubility
Miscible with water, 1,4-dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dichloromethane, chloroform, dimethyl sulfoxide, hexamethylphosphoric triamide and toluene. Insoluble in diethyl ether and hexane.
Notes
Incompatible with oxidizing agents, acids and bases.
