Collection: Silanes [Reduction]

Silanes [Reduction] — compiles silanes and disilanes, such as triisopropylsilane, tris(trimethylsilyl)silane, and tetramethyldisiloxane, which act as hydrogen atom donors in both radical and ionic reduction reactions. This group belongs to the Reduction category of synthetic reagents and replaces tin-based reagents in some transformations.

These reducing silanes are used by synthetic organic chemists for radical dehalogenation, reduction of certain functional groups, and as a hydrogen source in hydrosilylation reactions and radical chain reactions, replacing tributyltin hydride. Compounds such as tris(trimethylsilyl)silane and triisopropylsilane are commonly used in radical reaction schemes, while trihexylsilane and tetraphenyldisilane are used in more specific studies of Si-H bond reactivity.

Examples of products in this collection: TCI T1896 16343-18-3 1,1,2,2-Tetraphenyldisilane, TCI D1825 776-76-1 Methyldiphenylsilane, TCI T1533 6485-79-6 Triisopropylsilane, TCI D2100 16881-77-9 Dimethoxy(methyl)silane, TCI T1463 1873-77-4 Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane [Reducing Reagent], TCI D2196 766-77-8 Dimethylphenylsilane, TCI T1437 3277-26-7 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane, TCI D2403 2031-62-1 Diethoxymethylsilane [Hydrosilylating Reagent].

Pay attention to the number and type of substituents on the silicon atom (alkyl or aryl), as they affect the strength of the Si-H bond and the rate of hydrogen atom transfer in the intended reduction reaction. All products are genuine products of Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on the page of each item.
