Product Information

• Name: Trimethylsilylacetonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Trimethylsilylacetonitrile is a functional group that is used as a reactant in organic reactions. It is a nucleophilic reagent that reacts with an electrophilic compound to form a new carbon-carbon bond. Trimethylsilylacetonitrile can be deprotonated by the base hydrochloric acid, which leads to nucleophilic attack of the carbonyl group or radical coupling. Reaction rate increases with the presence of an acid catalyst and methoxy groups on the carbonyl group.
