1-(Triisopropylsilyl)pyrrole may be employed as reagent in perfluoroalkylation and Vilsmeier formylation reactions. It may be used in the preparation of ethyl 2-(2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazono]-3-[ 1-(triisopropylsily1)-pyrrol-2-yflpropanoate; heterocyclic base, 3-nitropyrrole and 3-nitropyrrole, required for the synthesis of 1 -(2?-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-3-nitropyrrole. It participates in various electrophilic substitution reactions specifically at β-position, via reaction with various electrophilic reagents (Br+, I+,NO2+,etc).
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
