P-Tolyltrimethylsilane（Cat No.:L006954）, is an organosilicon compound. It consists of a p-tolyl (4-methylphenyl) group attached to three trimethylsilyl (-Si(CH3)3) groups. This colorless liquid is widely used in organic synthesis as a versatile reagent. It acts as a silylating agent, facilitating the introduction of trimethylsilyl groups to various organic compounds. This derivatization improves their volatility and stability, crucial for gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis. P-Tolyltrimethylsilane is valuable in research laboratories for protecting sensitive functional groups and enabling the analysis of organic compounds. Its applications extend to the fields of medicinal chemistry, material science, and analytical chemistry.
