In the intricate landscape of organic synthesis, chemists constantly seek versatile building blocks that can facilitate complex transformations. Vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES), identified by CAS No. 78-08-0, emerges as a valuable intermediate due to its dual reactivity, enabling a range of important synthetic pathways.

NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM, a prominent manufacturer and supplier of specialty chemicals from China, offers high-purity Vinyltriethoxysilane, catering to the needs of research scientists and chemical manufacturers worldwide. Our commitment is to provide reliable chemical intermediates that drive innovation in synthesis.

The Synthetic Versatility of VTES

The synthetic utility of Vinyltriethoxysilane (C8H18O3Si) stems from its two key reactive functionalities:

  1. The Vinyl Group: This unsaturated moiety is susceptible to various addition reactions. It can participate in catalytic cross-coupling reactions, such as palladium-catalyzed couplings, with organometallic reagents or organic halides. This allows for the facile formation of new carbon-carbon bonds, enabling the synthesis of complex organic molecules, including substituted olefins and functionalized aromatic compounds. For instance, reactions with enamines can yield silylenamines, which are key intermediates in synthesizing β-aryl enamines.
  2. The Ethoxysilane Group: The three ethoxy groups on the silicon atom can undergo hydrolysis to form silanols, which can then be further functionalized or used in condensation reactions. This reactivity allows VTES to be incorporated into siloxane frameworks or used as a precursor for functionalized silicones. It also enables its use in surface modification reactions where a silane anchor is required.

These inherent reactivities make VTES a crucial intermediate in the synthesis of:

  • Functionalized Polymers: VTES can be copolymerized or grafted onto polymer chains to introduce vinyl or silane functionality, leading to materials with tailored properties.
  • Specialty Organosilicon Compounds: It serves as a precursor for synthesizing more complex organosilicon molecules with specific applications in materials science and catalysis.
  • Pharmaceutical and Agrochemical Intermediates: The ability to form new C-C bonds makes VTES useful in constructing molecular skeletons relevant to the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries.
