Abstract

Abstract KBr acts as an efficient and reusable catalyst for the selective and efficient trimethylsilylation of benzylic, primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane. All reactions were performed at room temperature under mild and completely heterogeneous conditions in good to high yields.
