TERT-BUTYLDIMETHYLSILYL TRIFLATE – 69739-34-0

TBDMS triflate is often used as a protecting group reagent in organic synthesis. It can be used to protect various functional groups, such as alcohols, phenols, and amines, by forming stable silyl ethers or silyl amines. This protection strategy is widely used in organic synthesis for the selective functionalization of complex molecules.

In addition, TBDMS triflate can be used as a catalyst in various organic reactions, such as the O-alkylation of phenols and the O-glycosylation of sugars. It can also be used as a coupling agent in peptide synthesis and as a reagent for the preparation of various organic compounds, such as natural products and pharmaceuticals.
