Description

Description

Trimethylsilyl Cyanide is used as a reagent in the preparation of optically active cyanohydrins. It is used in the derivatization of complex metabolite mixtures by GC-MS. It is employed in the preparation of Reissert compounds, which represent reactive polyamides. Further, it is used to convert pyridine-N-oxides into 2-cyanopyridine. It is also used as a cyanide source in an enantioselective organocatalytic Strecker-type reaction of aliphatic N,N-dialkylhydrazones. In addition to this, it is used as a reagent for the cyanosilylation of aldehydes.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
