Description
Triethylsilane is a widely used organosilicon compound acting primarily as a mild and selective hydride donor in organic synthesis. It is valued for its controlled reactivity and compatibility with a broad range of functional groups.
It is commonly employed in reduction reactions, radical chemistry and as a hydrogen source in metal‑catalyzed transformations, particularly where stronger hydride reagents would be unsuitable.
Functions / Reactivity
- Hydride donor
- Reducing agent
- Hydrogen source in catalytic reactions
- Radical chain transfer reagent
Applications
- Pharmaceutical intermediates synthesis
