Used as a radical reducing agent in organic synthesis, particularly for dehalogenation reactions. It effectively removes halogen atoms from organic molecules under mild conditions, often in the presence of a radical initiator like AIBN. Commonly applied in the synthesis of complex organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals and natural products, where selective reduction is required. Its bulky structure enhances selectivity, minimizing side reactions. Also serves as a silylating agent in some transformations, offering protection for reactive functional groups during multistep syntheses. Stable and easy to handle, making it suitable for laboratory-scale and exploratory research applications.
