Applications
2-(Trimethylsilyl)ethanol is used as a protecting reagent for carboxyl, phosphoryl, hydroxyl and amino group in organic synthesis. It is used as a precursor to prepare trimethyl(2-phenoxyethyl)silanes by reacting with aromatic fluoride. It is also used in the synthesis of teoc-protected amines by using the corresponding isocyanates.

Solubility
Miscible with water.

Notes
Keep away from sources of ignition. Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
