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.
