Chlorotrimethylsilane is a chloro-organosilane compound mainly used for silylation reactions.
Chlorotrimethylsilane has been used to silanize glass surface to make them more hydrophobic.It can be used in combination with hexamethyldisilazane for the protection of alcohols by forming trimethylsilyl ethers via silylation reaction.Also used in Fisher Glycosylation
