Product Overview
Triisopropylsilane, 98% pure, is a high-quality silane reagent packaged under AcroSeal® technology to ensure moisture-sensitive stability. This sterically hindered silane is widely recognized for its effectiveness as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly in the reduction of halides, carbonyls, and other functional groups. The bulky isopropyl substituents enhance selectivity and reactivity, making it a preferred choice for demanding synthetic routes. The AcroSeal® packaging provides an additional layer of protection against moisture and oxidation, preserving the reagent’s integrity during storage and handling. Its liquid form allows for easy dispensing and precise volume control in laboratory applications. The 98% purity grade ensures minimal impurities, reducing the risk of side reactions and improving yield consistency. This reagent is compatible with a variety of solvents and reaction conditions, making it versatile for diverse synthetic protocols. Proper storage under inert conditions is recommended to maintain its high performance over extended periods.
FAQs
1. What is the primary function of Triisopropylsilane in organic synthesis?
It primarily serves as a reducing agent and silylation reagent, often used to reduce functional groups like halides and carbonyls while providing steric protection in synthetic pathways.
2. How does AcroSeal® packaging benefit this product?
AcroSeal® packaging minimizes exposure to moisture and air, preserving the reagent’s purity and reactivity by preventing premature degradation or oxidation.
3. Can this reagent be used with polar solvents?
Yes, it is compatible with many polar and non-polar solvents, though compatibility should be verified for specific reaction conditions to avoid unwanted side reactions.
4. What precautions should be taken during storage?
Store under an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen or argon, in a tightly sealed container away from heat and moisture to maintain stability and performance.
5. Are there alternatives if this product is unavailable?
Triethylsilane or tert-butyldimethylsilane can sometimes be substituted, but reactivity and selectivity may differ due to varying steric and electronic properties.
