Pyridine; 50mL

Silylation Grade Solvents are manufactured to meet exacting silylation needs. Purified, dried and packaged under nitrogen in convenient 50mL Hypo-Vial Sample Storage Vials Supplied with elastomer septa, allowing immediate access to the sample without exposure to moisture and oxygen Use polar solvents (acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, pyridine, tetrahyrdrofuran) to facilitate reactions; nonpolar organic solvents may be used, but they will not accelerate the rate of reaction Recommended for: Avoid water or alcohol because TMS reagents react with active hydrogen; avoid enolizable ketones Use dimethylformamide for steroids and other large molecules Use dimethylsulfoxide to prepare TMS derivatives of tertiary alcohols and some compounds with reluctant solubility in other silylation solvents Pyridine is an excellent solvent and reaction medium for MS reactions and is an HCl acceptor in reactions involving organochlorosilanes Other commonly used solvents include tetrahyrdrofuran and acetonitrile
