General description

Tetramethyl orthosilicate is a colorless organosilicon compound consisting of four methoxy groups bonded to a silicon atom. On hydrolysis, it produces silicon dioxide and methanol. It has been widely used in catalysis, synthesis of nanomaterials, ceramics, zeolites, and coating materials.

Application

Tetramethyl orthosilicate can be used:
  • As a precursor to synthesize organic-inorganic coating materials by sol-gel processing method.
  • As an efficient reagent for direct amidation of aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with amines and anilines.
  • As a precursor to fabricate SiO2 nanocomposite films by chemical vapor deposition(CVD) method.
  • As a selective catalyst ofC3-methylation of indole.
Used in the sol-gel synthesis of chromium-doped silicates and in the formation of hexagonal mesoporous silica layers.

A novel calix[4] open-chain crown ether (p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-1,3-bis(allyloxyethy) ether)-modified, organic-inorganic hybrid silica-based monolithic column possessing vinyl ligands for CEC is described. The monolithic silica matrix containing a vinyl functionality was synthesized by in situ cocondensation of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS)

A method for the preparation of inorganic superhydrophobic silica coatings using sol-gel processing with tetramethoxysilane and isobutyltrimethoxysilane as precursors is described. Incorporation of isobutyltrimethoxysilane into silica layers resulted in the existence of hydrophobic isobutyl surface groups, thereby generating surface hydrophobicity.
