Vinyltrimethoxysilane (CAS 2768-02-7)

Vinyltrimethoxysilane is an organosilicon compound that belongs to the class of silane coupling agents. Its structure consists of a silicon atom at the center, attached to a vinyl group, and three methoxy groups. The vinyl group, which is characterized by a carbon-carbon double bond (C=C), is a common feature in many organic compounds and imparts considerable reactivity to the molecule. The "trimethoxy" part of the name denotes that there are three methoxy groups (-OCH3) attached to the silicon atom. These groups, each consisting of a single-bonded oxygen and a methyl group, contribute to the compound′s solubility properties. The silicon atom, which forms the core of the molecule, allows for interesting reactivity patterns, particularly with hydroxyl-containing surfaces, making vinyltrimethoxysilane useful in a wide range of applications, including as a coupling agent in the manufacture of glass fibers and in the production of silane-modified polymers and resins.
