Ethylsilane is a chemical compound from the group of organosilicon compounds .

Extraction and presentation

One way of producing ethylsilane is to hydrogenate a corresponding halogen compound, such as trichloroethylsilane , with lithium aluminum hydride :

${\displaystyle {\ce {4 C2H5SiCl3 + 3 LiAlH4 -> 4 C2H5SiH3 + 3 LiCl + 3 AlCl3}}}$

properties

Ethylsilane is a liquid boiling at 19 ° C with a flash point of −60 ° C, a lower explosion limit of 1.3% and an upper explosion limit of 88.9%.
