resolve resolution:
62.49g (0.575mol) trimethylchlorosilane was added dropwise to a solution composed of 72.7g (0.06mol) N, N-dimethylaniline and 7g water, and heated to reflux for 1h. Atmospheric distillation, collecting 98-101 ℃ fractions, after drying it is hexamethyldisilyl ether, to obtain 43-44g, yield 92-94%. Industrial production is the hydrolysis of trimethylchlorosilane at 30-40 ° C.


Used as silicone oil, silicone rubber, pharmaceuticals, gas chromatographic fixed liquids, analytical reagents, hydrophobic agents, etc. This product is used as a head sealing agent, cleaning agent, and stripping agent. It is mainly used in the production of organic chemicals and pharmaceutical chemicals.
