General description

N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide is an organosilicon reagent for trimethylsilylation, deprotection, dehydrogenation, allylic alkylation, nitronate formation, and Claisen rearrangement.

BSTFA is a silylating agent used in the synthesis of 4-Quinolones.

Application

N,O-Bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide can be used as a derivatization reagent for the determination of the estrogens estrone and 17α-ethinylestradiol by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
