Abstract

The commercial Al(OH)(BDC) (BDC: 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid) metal organic framework (Basolite A100) is a suitable heterogeneous catalyst for the silylation of benzylic and aliphatic alcohols by hexamethyldisilazane in toluene at room temperature. Al(OH)(BDC) is stable under the reaction conditions as evidenced by powder XRD and can be reused with minimal activity decrease.
