Product Overview

(TrifluoroMethoxy)trimethylsilane, 0.5M Solution in THF, is a specialized reagent designed for high-efficiency fluorination and silylation reactions in organic synthesis. Packaged under AcroSeal® technology, this solution ensures minimal moisture exposure, preserving its reactivity and extending shelf life. The 0.5M concentration in anhydrous THF provides optimal solubility and stability, making it suitable for demanding laboratory protocols. Its trimethylsilane moiety enhances nucleophilicity, facilitating smooth incorporation of the trifluoromethoxy group into target molecules. The reagent is particularly valued for its ability to introduce trifluoromethoxy functionality without side reactions, ensuring high yields and purity in synthetic pathways. Stored in a tightly sealed container, this solution maintains its integrity under inert conditions, reducing the risk of degradation. Ideal for researchers requiring precise control over reaction conditions, this product delivers consistent performance in both small-scale and preparative chemistry applications.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of (TrifluoroMethoxy)trimethylsilane in THF?

When stored under inert conditions at recommended temperatures, the solution remains stable for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.

2. Can this reagent be used with other solvents besides THF?

The 0.5M concentration is optimized for THF, but compatibility with other anhydrous solvents like diethyl ether or toluene may vary and should be tested.

3. How should this solution be handled to prevent moisture contamination?

Use standard moisture-sensitive techniques: work under nitrogen or argon, avoid prolonged exposure to air, and reseal the container immediately after use.

4. Are there any known incompatibilities with this reagent?

Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents, acids, or bases, as these can lead to decomposition or violent reactions.

5. What is the typical purity level of this AcroSeal® product?

The solution meets ≥97% purity standards, with residual moisture and impurities minimized through rigorous quality control.
