Use of BSTFA Silylating Reagent to Prepare Volatile Derivatives for GC

TMCS Product Specification TMCS (trimethylchlorosilane) is a silylation catalyst, rarely used alone in analytical applications but typically mixed with other silylation reagents to increase their reactivity (e.g., HMDS/TMCS/ pyridine, BSTFA/TMCS, BSA/TMCS) in derivatization of alcohols, alkaloids, amines, biogenic amines, carboxylic…

Bulletin 909A Guide to Derivatization Reagents for GC A large number of reagents are used to prepare derivatives for gas chromatography, but most of the derivatization reactions fit into one of three categories: acylation, alkylation, or silylation. This bulletin describes…

TMSI+Pyridine Product Specification TMSI (N-trimethylsilylimidazole) is the strongest reagent for hydroxyls. It reacts quickly and smoothly with hindered and unhindered hydroxyl and carboxyl groups. TMSI+Pyridine is useful for derivatizing wet sugar samples, hindered hydroxyl groups in steroids and, in conjunction…
