Hexamethyldisilane (TMS2) is the organosilicon compound with the formula Si2(CH3)6, abbreviated Si2Me6. It is a colourless liquid, soluble in organic solvents. ==Synthesis and reactions== Hexamethyldisilane can be produced by Wurtz-like coupling of trimethylsilyl chloride in the presence of a reducing agent such as potassium graphite: With an excess of the reductant, the alkali metal silyl derivative is produced:
