Collection: Carboxylic Acid Silyl Esters, Sulfonic Acid Silyl Esters [Organosilicon]
Carboxylic Acid Silyl Esters, Sulfonic Acid Silyl Esters [Organosilicon] — covers silyl esters of carboxylic acids and sulfonic acids, such as trimethylsilyl acetate, trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetate, and tetraacetoxysilane, which combine silyl groups with acyl or sulfonyl groups. The Si-O bond in these compounds is reactive toward hydroxyl groups and other nucleophiles.
Organic chemistry researchers use these compounds as silylating reagents to protect hydroxyl groups, as acyl group sources in catalyzed acylation reactions, or as trifluoroacetyl transfer agents in organic synthesis. Trimethylsilyl trifluoroacetate, for example, is commonly used as a derivatization reagent in gas chromatography analysis.
Product examples in this collection: TCI T4334 562-90-3 Tetraacetoxysilane, TCI B7040 18294-04-7 Bis(trimethylsilyl) Oxalate, TCI T3789 157859-20-6 Triisopropylsilyl Acrylate (stabilized with BHT), TCI D1553 2182-66-3 Diacetoxydimethylsilane, TCI T3552 16844-98-7 Trimethylsilyl Propionate, TCI A1567 2754-27-0 Trimethylsilyl Acetate, TCI T2629 400-53-3 Trimethylsilyl Trifluoroacetate.
Pay attention to the compounds' reactivity toward moisture, which requires anhydrous reaction conditions, and to the presence or absence of stabilizers such as BHT in acrylate products that are prone to polymerization. All products are genuine Tokyo Chemical Industry (TCI) Japan products, with purity, packaging, and storage conditions listed on each item's page.
