N-Methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA) is an efficient silylation reagent used to add trimethylsilyl groups to amines and other polar functional groups. CovaChem manufactures MSTFA with 1 % TMCS, which serves as a catalyst for the silyl derivatization reaction. MSTFA with TMCS is often used to derivatize samples prior to GC or GCMS analysis.
