Application

Tris(Trimethylsilyl)Silane is a versatile reagent, primarily serving as a reducing and hydrosilylating agent. It appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid and functions effectively as a radical-based reducing agent for organic compounds such as halides, selenides, xanthates, isocyanides, and ketones, achieving high yields. Additionally, Tris(Trimethylsilyl)Silane offers unique stereoselectivity compared to tri-n-butyltin hydride, especially in the reduction of geminal dihalides. This mild reducing agent also finds application in nucleoside chemistry. It is important to note that this reagent undergoes exothermic decomposition at temperatures exceeding 100 °C.
