Tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) is the chemical compound with the formula Si(OCH 3) 4.This molecule consists of four methoxy groups bonded to a silicon atom. The basic properties are similar to the more popular tetraethyl orthosilicate, which is usually preferred because the product of hydrolysis, ethanol, is less toxic than methanol.
Trimethyl orthoformate is a useful building block for creating methoxymethylene groups and heterocyclic ring systems. It introduces a formyl group to a nucleophilic substrate, e.g. RNH 2 to form R-NH-CHO, which can undergo further reactions.
Trimethyl phosphite is an organophosphorus compound with the formula P(OCH 3) 3, often abbreviated P(OMe) 3.It is a colorless liquid with a highly pungent odor. It is the simplest phosphite ester and finds used as a ligand in organometallic chemistry and as a reagent in organic synthesis.
Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir 2 (OCH 3) 2 (C 8 H 12) 2, where C 8 H 12 is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The complex is used as a precursor to other iridium complexes, some of which are used in homogeneous catalysis. [1]
2,2-Dimethoxypropane (DMP) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(OCH 3) 2.A colorless liquid, it is the product of the condensation of acetone and methanol.DMP is used as a water scavenger in water-sensitive reactions.
Dimethyl carbonate (DMC) is an organic compound with the formula OC(OCH 3) 2.It is a colourless, flammable liquid. It is classified as a carbonate ester.This compound has found use as a methylating agent and as a co-solvent in lithium-ion batteries. [1]
Trimethyl borate is the main precursor to sodium borohydride by its reaction with sodium hydride in the Brown-Schlesinger process: . 4 NaH + B(OCH 3) 3 → NaBH 4 + 3 NaOCH 3. It is a gaseous anti-oxidant in brazing and solder flux.
Dimethyl methylphosphonate can be prepared from trimethyl phosphite and a halomethane (e.g. iodomethane) via the Michaelis–Arbuzov reaction. [2]Dimethyl methylphosphonate is a schedule 2 chemical as it may be used in the production of chemical weapons.
