Features and Benefits

BSA+TMCS has good solvent properties and can function as a silylation reagent without additional solvents.         Alternatively, the mixture is very soluble in most commonly used silylation solvents.         This combination is extremely sensitive to moisture and should be handled under dry conditions.

General description

BSA+TMCS combination, is one of the most commonly used silylating reagents. BSA is readily used for silylating a wide range of functional groups such as non-sterically hindered alcohols, amides, amines, amino acids, carboxylic acids, and enols. TMCS is a silylation catalyst always used with other silylation reagents to increase the reactivity in derivatization of alcohols, alkaloids, amines, biogenic amines, carboxylic acids, phenols, and steroids.
