Description

Silane, (1,1-Dimethylethyl)Dimethyl[[2-Methyl-3-(2,6,6-Trimethyl-2-Cyclohexen-1-Ylidene)-1-Propenyl]Oxy]- is a specialized organosilicon compound featuring a bulky tert-butyl group and a retinoid-derived side chain, designed for advanced surface modification and coupling applications. This high-purity silane is critical for creating stable, hydrophobic, and highly functionalized interfaces on inorganic substrates like glass, silica, and metals. It is primarily sought by R&D scientists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical intermediates, advanced materials, and specialty coatings sectors for developing next-generation products.

Application

• Surface Modification Agent: For grafting onto silica, glass, or metal oxide surfaces to impart specific organic functionality and enhance hydrophobicity.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of complex molecules, particularly those with retinoid-like structures, for drug discovery and development.
• Coupling Agent in Advanced Composites: Improves the interfacial adhesion between organic polymers and inorganic fillers in high-performance composite materials.
• Specialty Silicone Synthesis: Serves as a key monomer or functionalizing agent in the production of custom polysiloxanes with unique properties.
• Nanomaterial Functionalization: Used to modify nanoparticles (e.g., silica, quantum dots) for improved dispersion in organic matrices and targeted applications.
• Adhesion Promoter: Enhances the bonding of sealants, adhesives, and coatings to difficult-to-bond substrates.

Quality Control

Every batch of our high-value silane intermediates is produced and tested under strict quality management systems. We ensure identity, purity, and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR spectroscopy. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and degradation.
