Chemical Structure


Introduction

SiSiB® silazane is any hydride of silicon and nitrogen having a straight or branched chain of silicon and nitrogen atoms joined by covalent bonds. By extension, the word is also used for any organic derivative of such compounds. They are analogous to siloxanes, with -NH- replacing -O-. Their individual name is dependent on the number of silicon atoms in the chemical structure.

SiSiB® PC9210 (HMDS) is an extremely versatile and strong silylating agent. It is primarily used for the protection of sensitive functional groups during chemical synthesis.

Trimethylsilyl moiety is a versatile blocking agent employed in chemical synthesis. Introduction of silyl protective groups has following advantages:

Masking of reactive functional groups.
Improvement of solubility in polar and or non polar solvent.
Improved product stability.
Easy removal of protective groups .
Additional activation of reactive centres.
Easyelimination of hydrogen bonds.

One of the advantages of SiSiB® PC9210 over chlorosilanes is that no base is needed as a hydrochloric acid acceptor. SiSiB® PC9210 produces ammonia which escapes easily from the reaction mixture during silylation.
