2. Detailed Physical & Chemical Properties
2.1 Physical Properties
- Appearance: Colorless transparent low-viscosity liquid
- Odor: Slight characteristic silicon ether odor
- Solubility: Miscible with anhydrous dichloromethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, toluene, hexane; reacts violently with water, methanol and other protic solvents
- Density (20℃): 0.832 ~ 0.840 g/cm3
- Melting Point: -10℃
- Boiling Point: 71–73℃ (15 mmHg)
- Refractive Index nD20: 1.416 ~ 1.419
- Flash Point: 42℃
- Hygroscopicity: Extremely sensitive to water, hydrolyzes rapidly in humid air to generate hexamethyldisiloxane and acetamide
2.2 Chemical Properties
- Silylation Activity: Trimethylsilyl group rapidly replaces active hydrogen on -OH, -COOH, -NH2 to form stable volatile silyl derivatives for chromatographic detection
- Hydrolysis Characteristic: Decomposes immediately when exposed to water, must operate under anhydrous nitrogen protection
- Acid-Base Stability: Neutral reagent, no acid/base catalysis required for derivatization; stable under anhydrous neutral environment; decomposes in trace acid or alkaline water system
- Compatibility: Compatible with anhydrous aprotic solvents; strictly incompatible with water, alcohols, amines containing active hydrogen
- Thermal Stability: Stable below 80℃ under vacuum; high temperature above 120℃ causes slight decomposition
