Application

1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane can be used as:
  • A reactant to synthesize mono-functionalized siloxane derivatives via hydrosilylation reaction.
  • A reducing agent to synthesize alkyl halides from aldehydes.

General description

1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane is an inexpensive, nontoxic, and mild reducing agent. It is an attractive hydride source for hydrosilylation reactions, dehydrogenative silylations, and polymer production due to its electrophilic nature.
