Magnesium triflate [Mg(OTf)2] a highly stable, non-hygroscopic and a recyclable catalyst for the high yielding preparation of diethyl α-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates from diethyl α-hydroxyphosphonates by HMDS under solventless conditions
and convenient procedure for the easy conversion of various α-hydroxyphosphonates to α-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates under mild conditions with HMDS in the presence of a catalytic amount of magnesium triflate as a highly stable and a non-hygroscopic recyclable catalyst in neat conditions is described. In order to show the general applicability of this method, we have also applied this procedure successfully
Copper triflate [Cu(OTf)2] is an efficient and mild catalyst for the silylation of α-hydroxyphosphonates to α-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates with HMDS at room temperature
A broad, adaptable, high yielding and convenient procedure for the fast conversion of various alpha-hydroxyphosphonates to alpha-trimethylsilyloxyphosphonates under mild conditions with HMDS in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper triflate is described. This procedure has also been applied successfully for the silylation of alcohols and phenols. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Aluminium Triflate [Al(OTf)<sub>3</sub>] as a Recyclable Catalyst for the Conversion of α-Hydroxyphosphonates, Alcohols and Phenols to Their Corresponding O-Silylated Products with Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS)
Al(OTf)3 as a recyclable catalyst conducts the efficient conversion of various types of α-hydroxyphosphonates to their corresponding α-trimethysilyloxyphosphonates with HMDS in the absence of solvent at room temperature. The general applicability of the catalyst under solvent-free conditions is demonstrated by applying it for the successful silylation of alcohols and phenols with HMDS in high yields.
