b.p. 168-170°; d. 1.023
- Derivatizes hydroxyl, carboxyl, thiol and primary and
secondary amines
- Typical yields are >96%
- Provides TBDMCS ethers that are 104 times more stable to
hydrolysis than TMS ethers
- Reaction byproducts are neutral and volatile
- Derivatives have a high molecular concentration at M-57
- Silylating potential increased by adding 1% TBDMCS
- MBTSTFA and MBTSTFA + 1% TBDMCS convert hydroxyls, carboxyls,
thiols and primary and secondary amines to TBDMS (tert-butyldimethylsilyl)
derivatives, which are 10,000 times more stable than TMS
ethers1. The reaction requires only 5 to 20 minutes to complete,
and the by-products are neutral and volatile, preventing
clogging of chromatography instruments. The addition of 1%
TBDMCS acts as a catalyst, improving performance compared to
MBTSTFA alone.
