Description
N-(Trimethylsilyl)bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (CAS No. 82113-66-4) is a highly specialized organosilicon compound with the molecular formula C5H9F6NO4S2Si. This reagent is widely recognized for its role as a potent silylating agent and catalyst in advanced organic synthesis. Its IUPAC name, 1,1,1-trifluoro-N-(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)-N-trimethylsilylmethanesulfonamide, reflects its unique trifluoromethanesulfonyl (triflyl) and trimethylsilyl functional groups, which contribute to its exceptional reactivity and stability under harsh conditions.
This compound is particularly valued in electrolyte formulations, polymer chemistry, and acid-catalyzed reactions due to its strong Lewis acidity and low nucleophilicity. It is supplied as a high-purity (>98%) liquid or solid, ensuring optimal performance in sensitive applications. Proper handling under inert atmospheres (e.g., argon or nitrogen) is recommended to prevent moisture sensitivity.
