Phenylsilane

Phenylsilane uses and applications include: Reducing agent in radical reactions; starting material for preparation of diiodosilane, a reagent for the cleavage of ethers and iodination of alcohols; reducing agent for esters to ethers, a,b-unsaturated ketones to sat. ketones in presence of tri-n-butyltin hydride, tin amides to tin hydrides, in tin-catalyzed reduction of nitroalkanes to alkanes, a-halo ketones in presence of Mo(O) Suggested storage of Phenylsilane: Moisture-sensitive; store in cool, dry place away from heat, sparks, open flame, ignition sources; keep tightly closed
