Packaging Under Nitrogen Trialkylsilyl Blocking Agent Used as a protecting group for reactive hydrogens in alcohols, amines, thiols, and carboxylic acids. Organosilanes are hydrogen-like, can be introduced in high yield, and can be removed under selective conditions. They are stable over a wide range of reaction conditions and can be removed in the presence of other functional groups, including other protecting groups. The tolerance of silylated alcohols to chemical transformations summary is presented in Table 1 of the Silicon-Based Blocking Agents brochure. Triethylsilyltrifluo

onic acid triethylsilyl ester
More reactive than SIT8250.0
Useful for more hindered alcohols
Used primarily for the protection of alcohols
Can be used to protect amines and carboxylic acids
Summary of selective deprotection conditions is provided in Table 7 through Table 20 of the Silicon-Based Blocking Agents brochure
