Thermo Scientific™ Triethylsilane 99%

Triethylsilane is a clear, colorless organosilicon compound used extensively in organic synthesis, hydrosilylation reactions, and reductive transformations. Supplied at ≥99% purity, Thermo Scientific™ Triethylsilane is a high-purity reagent ideal for research laboratories and industrial chemical processes requiring a mild and selective source of hydride.

This volatile liquid is commonly employed in reductive deoxygenation, reductive amination, and metal-catalyzed hydrosilylation, particularly with noble metal catalysts such as Pt, Rh, or Pd. Triethylsilane is also compatible with Lewis acids and acid-promoted reductions under controlled conditions.
