Storage method
Storage Precautions[18] Store in a cool, dry and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 29℃. The packaging must be sealed and protected from moisture. They should be stored separately from oxidants, acids, and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
It can be prepared by reacting tetrachlorosilane or ethyl orthosilicate with methylmagnesium iodide. It can also be prepared by reacting methyl chloride and silicon powder in the presence of copper catalyst. It is produced by reacting at high temperature and then carefully fractionating it. Since silicon has low electronegativity and has little effect on the hydrogen atoms on the four methyl groups, it can give a strong signal and a sharp absorption peak in the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, while the protons in other general organic compounds The absorption peaks all appear to its left. Therefore, TMS is usually used as the internal standard for chemical shifts in NMR spectra, and its chemical shift is set to zero.
Purpose
1. Used as reagents, aviation fuel, solvents, and nuclear magnetic resonance reagents.
2. Used as reagents and aviation fuel. [19]
