General description

Di-tert-butylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate), also known as di-tert-butylsilyl ditriflate, that easily reacts with hydroxylic solvents. It is commonly used as a protecting group for diols in oligonucleotide synthesis.

Application

Di-tert-butylsilyl bis(trifluoromethanesulfonate) is used:
  • As a Boekelheide promoter to synthesize pyrrolidines and piperidines via intramolecular cyclization.
  • As a protecting group reagent for 1,3-diols used recently in a synthesis of N-homoceramides.
  • For selective α-galactosylation in the synthesis of α-galactosyl ceramides.
