Abstract

Abstract Oximes, allylic, aliphatic, aromatic, cyclic, acyclic, and hetero alcohols are silylated in short reaction times with good yields in the midst of a catalytic amount of sulfated zirconia solid acid catalyst and trimethylsilyl cyanide under nonbasic, solvent-free, and ambient temperature conditions. Selectivity toward O-silyl ether rather than N-silyl ether has been observed. This simple experimental procedure, combined with easy recovery and ...
