Excellent Reducing Agent for Radical Reactions

I've used Alfa Chemistry's Tris(Trimethylsilyl)Silane in our lab for hydrosilylation of carbonyls. It's a non-toxic, effective substitute for tri-n-butylstannane in radical reactions, delivering high yields consistently. Highly recommended for organic synthesis!
