Allyltrimethoxysilane

Chemical properties

Colorless to Almost colorless clear liquid to slightly cloudy liquid

The Uses of Allyltrimethoxysilane

Allyltrimethoxysilane is an allylating reagent that can be used for the allylation of carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, ketones, and imines. Homoallylic alcohols and amines are obtained via the C-C bond forming reaction. It can also be used to synthesize homoallylic α-branched amines from aromatic and aliphatic aldehyde hydrazones, and ketone hydrazones.

What are the applications of Application

Allyltrimethoxysilane as the Reagent of Double Bond Introduction to Porous Silica for Preparation of a Chiral Stationary Phase in Comparison with Allyltriethoxysilane.
Allylation of ketones, aldehydes and imines with dual activation of a Lewis Acid and fluoride ion.
Used in the regioselective generation of the thermodynamically more stable enol trimethoxysilyl ethers, which in turn are used in the asymmetric generation of quaternary carbon centers.
Converts arylselenyl bromides to arylallylselenides.
Allylates aryl iodides.
Allyltrimethoxysilane serves as a remarkable reagent in Silver-Catalyzed Asymmetric Allylation.
