Chlorotrimethylsilane silylation reagent, for GC derivatisation
Supplier: MACHEREY-NAGEL
TMCS is often used as a catalyst with other trimethylsilyl reagents. Without additives it can be used for preparing TMS derivatives of organic acids. Together with methanol it can be used for methylation.

Dimethyldichlorosilane silylation reagent, for GC derivatisation
Supplier: MACHEREY-NAGEL
DMCS is used to form dimethylsilyl (DMS) derivatives. These derivatives are much more susceptible to hydrolysis than TMS derivatives. Therefore strictly anhydrous conditions during reaction are very important.

HMDS (1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane) silylation reagent, for GC derivatisation
Supplier: MACHEREY-NAGEL
HMDS is weak TMS donor. If used as sole reagent, it is slow and not very effective. After addition of catalytic quantities (e.g., 1 %) of TMCS or as a mixture with TMCS it is a fast and quantitative reagent for trimethylsilylation of organic compounds.
