Abstract

Abstract The presence of catalytic amounts (∼ 0.02 equiv.) of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) significantly promoted the silylation of alcohols using a variety of available silazanes under mild conditions with high chemoselectivity, wherein the choice of silazanes allowed an alternative method for the powerful silylation of various kinds of alcohols or the highly regioselective silylation of primary alcohols.
