Collection: Derivatization Reagents

Derivatization Reagents — contains derivatization reagents that convert the functional groups of a compound into derivative forms with better volatility or detection response, mainly for mass spectrometry (MS) analysis. This group includes silane reagents, chloroformates, and aromatic amino compounds that react selectively with carbonyl, carboxylic, or amine groups.

Derivatization Reagents are used by analytical chemistry researchers to convert polar or less volatile compounds into derivative forms that are easier to analyze by GC-MS or LC-MS, for example silylation using chlorotrimethylsilane or esterification using hydrogen chloride-methanol reagent. Reagents such as 2-aminobenzamide and carboxymethoxylamine are used for labeling sugars or carbonyl groups before chromatographic analysis.

Example products in this collection: TCI A0262 88-68-6 2-Aminobenzamide, TCI C0178 543-27-1 Isobutyl Chloroformate, TCI A0267 137-07-5 2-Aminobenzenethiol, TCI C0205 2921-14-4 Carboxymethoxylamine Hemihydrochloride, TCI A0411 504-29-0 2-Aminopyridine, TCI C0306 75-77-4 Chlorotrimethylsilane, TCI X0041 7647-01-0 Hydrogen Chloride - Methanol Reagent (5-10%) [for Esterification], TCI C0605 1719-57-9 Chloro(chloromethyl)dimethylsilane.

Pay attention to the specific reactivity of the reagent toward the target functional group, water-free conditions during the derivatization reaction, and the compatibility of the resulting derivatives with the analytical instrument used. All products are original Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
