Tris(trimethylsilyl)silane is an effective reducing agent for organic halides, selenides, xanthates, and isocyanides, as well as an effective hydrosilylating agent for dialkyl ketones and alkenes.The silane functions as a mediator in the formation of intermolecular carbon-carbon bonds via radicals and allows a variety of organic substrates to be used as alkyl radical precursors.Absolute rate constants for the reaction of (Me3Si)3Si* radicals with a variety of organic compounds have been measured in solution by laser flash photolysis.At 294 K rate constants are >5 x 107 M-1 s-1 for C=C double bonds that are activated by neighboring ?-electron systems or by electron-withdrawing groups.For other substrates, reactivities decreased in the order xanthate > selenide > isocyanide > nitro > sulfide.

The reactions of tris(trirnethylsilyl)silyl radicals with some compounds containing the carbonyl function (dialkyl or diaryl ketones and quinones) have been studied in solution by means of laser flash photolysis and ESR spectroscopy. The reactivities vary
