Highly efficient silylating agent. Silylating agent reportedly much less moisture-sensitive than other silylating reagents used for GLC derivatization
Application
N-tert-butyldimethylsilyl-N-methyltrifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) can be used:
As a derivatizing agent in the GC-MS analysis of hydroxylated fluorenes and in the GC analysis of amino acids.
As an efficient silylating agent for different alcohols, thiols, phenols, carboxylic acids, amines, and amides.
To functionalize multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with polar groups.
MTBSTFA is reportedly much less moisture-sensitive than other silylating reagents used for GLC derivatization.
