tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride is an organosilicon compound with the formula (Me3C)Me2SiCl (Me = CH3). It is a silane containing two methyl groups, a tert-butyl group, and a reactive chloride. It is a colorless or white solid that is soluble in many organic solvents but reacts with water and alcohols. The compound is used to protect alcohols in organic synthesis. Examples can be found in the Nicolaou taxol total synthesis.
tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride reacts with alcohols in the presence of base to give tert-butyldimethylsilyl ethers:[1]
- (Me3C)Me2SiCl + ROH → (Me3C)Me2SiOR + HCl
