Carbamic acid, (trimethylsilyl)-, ethyl ester, also known as ethyl (trimethylsilyl)carbamate, is an organosilicon compound with the chemical formula C6H15NO2Si. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in organic solvents and has a molecular weight of 161.27 g/mol. Carbamic acid, (trimethylsilyl)-, ethyl ester is primarily used as a protecting group in organic synthesis, particularly for amines and alcohols, due to its stability and ease of removal under mild conditions. It is also employed as a coupling agent in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound is synthesized by the reaction of ethyl chloroformate with trimethylsilylamine, and it is characterized by its ability to form stable derivatives with nucleophiles, which can be selectively deprotected under acidic or basic conditions.
The CAS Registry Mumber 998-86-7 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 9,9 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 998-86: (5*9)+(4*9)+(3*8)+(2*8)+(1*6)=127 127 % 10 = 7 So 998-86-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
