Abstract
A commercially available proazaphosphatrane is an efficient and mild catalyst for the silylation of a wide variety of alcohols and phenols, including acid-sensitive, base-sensitive, and hindered substrates, using tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (TBDMSCl). The reactions are carried out in acetonitrile from 24 to 40°C and on rare occasions in DMF from 24 to 80°C. Although representative primary alcohols, secondary alcohols, and phenols were silylated using the more sterically hindered reagent tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride (TBDPSCl), tertiary alcohols were recovered unchanged.
