Preparation of Tetramethylsilane: this chemical is a by-product of the production of methyl chlorosilanes, SiCl_x(CH₃)_4-x, via the direct process of reacting methyl chloride with silicon. The more useful products of this reaction are those for x = 1, 2, and 3.

Uses of Tetramethylsilane: it undergoes deprotonation upon treatment with butyllithium to give (H₃C)₃SiCH₂Li. The latter, trimethylsilylmethyl lithium, is a relatively common alkylating agent. Tetramethylsilane is the accepted internal standard for calibrating chemical shift for ¹H, ¹³C and ²⁹Si NMR spectroscopy in organic solvents (where TMS is soluble). In water, where it is not soluble,sodium salts of DSS, 2,2-dimethyl-2-silapentane-5-sulfonate, is used instead. Because of its high volatility, TMS can easily be evaporated, which is convenient for recovery of samples analyzed by NMR spectroscopy.
