Abstract
Silica-bonded S-sulfonic acid (SBSSA) was prepared by the reaction of 3-mercaptopropylsilica (MPS) and chlorosulfonic acid in tert-butylmethyl ether, and used as a catalyst for the silylation of hydroxyl groups. A good range of primary, secondary alcohols and phenolic hydroxyl groups were effectively converted into their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in the presence of catalytic amounts of SBSSA under mild conditions at room temperature with short reaction times and in good-to-excellent yields. An excellent chemoselective silylation of hydroxyl groups in the presence of other functional groups was also observed. The heterogeneous catalyst was recycled for 30 runs upon the reaction of benzyl alcohol with HMDS without lossing its catalytic activity.
