(Chloromethyl)trimethylsilane at 160  K

S. Fraser and S. Parsons

Abstract: (Chloromethyl)trimethylsilane, Me₃SiCH₂Cl or C₄H₁₁ClSi, is a liquid at room temperature, and it was crystallized using in situ methods. The C-Si-C bond angles involving the chloromethyl group are somewhat smaller than those involving only methyl groups [105.5  (2)-109.47  (19)° versus 110.01  (19)-111.2  (2)°], which is ascribable to both the electronegative and the steric effects of the Cl atom.
