Methylsilane
Chemical compound / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Methylsilane is the organosilicon compound with the formula CH3SiH3. It is a colorless gas that ignites in air. It can be prepared by reduction of methyltrichlorosilane with lithium aluminium hydride.[2] It has been investigated as a precursor to silicon carbide.[3]
