Chemical Properties：
Colorless transparent liquid

Usage:
For organic synthesis and pharmaceutical intermediates
Under the action of alkaline water, the Si-H bond breaks in the molecule, releasing hydrogen gas to form triethylsilanol. Is reacted with an alkyl lithium, and the hydrogen atom in the Si-H bond is substituted with an alkyl group. With lithium alkoxide reaction, generating triethylalkoxysilane. Aluminum chloride in the presence of, and hydrogen chloride reaction, generating triethyl chlorosilane. In the role of platinum catalyst, with the addition of olefin reaction. Triethyl chlorosilane can be used lithium hydride or lithium aluminum tetrahydride reduction to the system. Used to synthesize
