Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) is a colorless transparent liquid with the chemical formula [(CH3) 3Si] 2NH. It is easy to hydrolyze, can release NH3, and generate hexamethyldisilane. In the presence of a catalyst, hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) can react with alcohols or phenols to produce trimethyl alkoxysilane or trimethylaryloxysilane. In addition, it can react with anhydrous hydrogen chloride to release NH3 or NH4Cl, generating trimethylchlorosilane.
