General description

Triisopropylsilane (TIPS) is an organosilicon compound used as a reducing agent in organic synthesis due to its relatively low toxicity, ease of handling, and its ability to selectively reduce various functional groups. It is used in the presence of a Lewis acid such as titanium (IV) chloride to selectively reduce ketones and aldehydes to their corresponding alkanes and selective reduction of epoxides to the corresponding alcohols.

Application

Triisopropylsilane can be used as a reducing agent:
  • To synthesize 4-pyrrole phenylacyl peptide during solid-phase peptide synthesis.
  • In transition metal complex-catalyzed reaction of amides with hydrosilanes.
  • For the selective reduction of C-arylglucosides into β-C-aryl glucosides.
  • To facilitate the cleavage of acetamidomethyl (Acm), 4-methoxybenzyl (Mob), and tert-butyl (But) protecting groups from cysteine (Cys) residues in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid.
  • For the reduction of amides to corresponding amines in the presence of transition-metal catalysts.

Kissorphin (KSO) is a new peptide derived from kisspeptin-10. Previous study has indicated that this peptide displays neuropeptide FF (NPFF)-like anti-opioid activity. Herein, we examined the influence of KSO (1; 3, and 10 nmol, intravenously [i.v.]), on the rewarding action of

The catalytic, diastereoselective coupling of alpha-silyloxy aldehydes and alkynylsilanes catalyzed by a nickel(0) N-heterocyclic carbene complex provides an effective entry to anti-1,2-diols. The scope of couplings and extent of diastereoselection are excellent across a range of substrates.

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
