1. Hexamethyldisilane CAS 1450-14-2 is widely used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly for reducing various functional groups (e.g., carbonyls, halides) under specific reaction conditions.

2. In organosilicon chemistry, Hexamethyldisilane serves as a precursor for generating other silicon-containing compounds, such as silyl radicals or silylating agents, which are useful in modifying molecules.

3. Hexamethyldisilane CAS 1450-14-2 finds application in materials science, for example, in the preparation of silicon-based thin films or as a component in the synthesis of specialty polymers and ceramics.

1. Hexamethyldisilane CAS 1450-14-2 should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from sources of heat, sparks, or open flames, as Hexamethyldisilane may be flammable.

2. Hexamethyldisilane CAS 1450-14-2 should be kept isolated from strong oxidizing agents, acids, and moisture to prevent unwanted chemical reactions (e.g., hydrolysis or oxidation) that could degrade the compound.

3. The Hexamethyldisilane storage area should be clearly labeled, and the container should be protected from physical damage to avoid leaks, ensuring safe handling and preservation.
