Various alcohols and phenols were trimethylsilylated in excellent yields using hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of environmentally friendly, hydrophobic, highly thermal stable, and completely ...Various alcohols and phenols were trimethylsilylated in excellent yields using hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amounts of environmentally friendly, hydrophobic, highly thermal stable, and completely heterogeneous sulfonic acid functionalized mesostructured SBA-15 in dichloromethane at ambient temperature. Primary, bulky secondary, tertiary, and phenolic hydroxyl functional groups were transformed to the corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers in excellent yields. The simple experimental procedure was accompanied by easy recovery and the catalyst was reusable (at least 18 reaction cycles); these are attractive features of this protocol.展开更多
