Product Name – Chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane, 98%, AcroSeal® Quantity/Pack Size – 100ML Form – Liquid Grade – 98% Pure Application – Silylation reagent, organosilicon synthesis
Product Overview
Chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane, 98% pure, is a high-grade organosilicon compound designed for precision laboratory applications. Packaged in AcroSeal® containers, this reagent ensures maximum stability by preventing moisture contamination, which is critical for maintaining reactivity in sensitive chemical processes. The chloromethyl functional group provides versatility in synthesizing silane derivatives, while the dimethyl substitution enhances solubility in organic solvents. Its liquid form allows for easy handling and precise dosing in reactions. The 98% purity level minimizes impurities that could interfere with experimental outcomes, making it a reliable choice for demanding synthesis protocols. The AcroSeal® packaging features a tamper-evident design that preserves the compound’s integrity during storage and transport. This product is particularly valued in environments where consistent performance and reproducibility are essential. The molecular structure’s reactivity enables efficient coupling with various substrates, facilitating the creation of complex organosilicon compounds. Proper storage under inert conditions is recommended to maintain its high purity over extended periods.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane when stored properly?
When stored under inert gas in a cool, dry place, the product maintains its 98% purity for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the container seal before use.
2. Is this compound compatible with standard glassware, or are special materials required?
The compound can be used with standard borosilicate glassware, but prolonged exposure may require PTFE-lined or inert containers to prevent potential corrosion from chlorine reactivity.
3. What alternatives exist if this specific silane is unavailable?
Chloromethyldimethylchlorosilane or (chloromethyl)trimethylsilane can serve as alternatives, though reactivity profiles may vary slightly depending on the substitution pattern.
4. How should I dispose of unused or expired Chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane?
Follow local hazardous waste regulations. Neutralize with a suitable base solution before disposal, and never pour into drains or general waste containers.
5. Does the AcroSeal® packaging require any special handling during opening?
Use standard laboratory safety practices. Open in a fume hood, and ensure the container is at room temperature to avoid pressure buildup that could compromise the seal.
