Product Information

• Name: 4-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)pyridine
• Synonyms: 4-(Dimethyl-tert-butylsilyloxymethyl)pyridine4-[[[(1,1-Dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]methyl]pyridineTBS-4-hydroxymethylpyridine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)pyridine is a reagent that is used to prepare stoichiometric quantities of triethyloxonium ions in the presence of catalytic amounts of palladium. 4-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)pyridine is also used as an anticancer agent, which may be due to its ability to inhibit cell proliferation and induce apoptosis. This compound has been shown to prevent the growth of micellar structures and reduce the rate of ester hydrolysis. It also has the ability to convert into two enantiomers, one with a hydroxyl group on the methylene carbon at position 4 and another with an alcohol group on this same carbon.
