Rationale: m-Cresol is listed as a priority controlled contaminant in many countries, but it is very difficult to accurately determine isomeric cresols due to their incomplete chromatographic separation on commercially available chromatographic columns and their nearly identical mass spectra. Methods: Silylation of isomeric cresols was carried out by treatment with N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide. The formed trimethyl(tolyloxy)silanes were analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Theoretical calculations were carried out with the Gaussian 03 program using the density functional theory (DFT) method at the B3LYP/6-311 + G(2d,p) level. Results: The derivatives of three isomeric cresols and six isomeric xylenols have been completely separated on an HP-5MS capillary column within a GC run of only 10 minutes. In addition, the derivative o-cresol can be very easily differentiated from its isomers due to its characteristic base peak ion at m/z 91 in electron ionization (EI)-MS. DFT calculation results indicated that the formation of the abundant fragment ion at m/z 91 is attributed to a facile dissociation pathway involving the shift of a neighboring phenylmethyl hydrogen atom in EI-MS of trimethyl(o-tolyloxy)silane. Conclusions: Silylation provides a promising solution for simultaneous determination of isomeric cresols and isomeric xylenols.
Regioselectivity of Hydroxyl Radical Reactions with Arenes in Nonaqueous Solutions

, p. 3260 - 3269 (2019/03/11)
The regioselectivity of hydroxyl radical addition to arenes was studied using a novel analytical method capable of trapping radicals formed after the first elementary step of reaction, without alteration of the product distributions by secondary oxidation processes. Product analyses of these reactions indicate a preference for o- over p-substitution for electron donating groups, with both favored over m-addition. The observed distributions are qualitatively similar to those observed for the addition of other carbon-centered radicals, although the magnitude of the regioselectivity observed is greater for hydroxyl. The data, reproduced by high accuracy CBS-QB3 computational methods, indicate that both polar and radical stabilization effects play a role in the observed regioselectivities. The application and potential limitations of the analytical method used are discussed.

Nanoporous Na+-montmorillonite perchloric acid as a novel heterogeneous reusable solid acid catalyst was easily prepared by treatment of Na+-montmorillonite as a cheap and commercially available support with perchloric acid. The catalyst was characterized using a variety of techniques including X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), pH analysis and determination of the Hammett acidity function. The prepared reagent showed excellent catalytic activity for the chemoselective conversion of alcohols and phenols to their corresponding trimethylsilyl ethers with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) at room temperature. Deprotection of the resulting trimethylsilyl ethers can also be carried out using the same catalyst in ethanol. All reactions were performed under mild and completely heterogeneous reaction conditions in good to excellent yields. The notable advantages of this protocol are: short reaction times, high yields, availability and low cost of the reagent, easy work-up procedure and the reusability of the catalyst during a simple filtration.

Efficient silylation of OH group in alcohols, phenols and oximes is described using a catalytic amount of N-chlorosaccharin and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) under mild and solvent-free conditions. This silylation reaction can be carried out with excellent and interesting various selectivities.
Highly atom economical uncatalysed and I2-catalysed silylation of phenols, alcohols and carbohydrates, using HMDS under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC)

experimental part, p. 3861 - 3867 (2012/06/30)
An uncatalysed silylation of phenols, regardless on the aggregate state and nature of the substituents with 0.55 equiv of HMDS under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) at room temperature is reported. Sterically hindered phenols, carbohydrates and most of the alcohols additionally required a catalytic amount (up to 2 mol %) of iodine. The reaction protocol is very simple; obtaining a pure product, particularly of uncatalysed reactions, was frequently a completely solvent-free process.

In the present work, highly efficient trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) catalyzed by high-valent [Ti IV(salophen)(OTf)2] is reported. Under these conditions, primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols as well as phenols were silylated in short reaction times and high yields. It is noteworthy that this method can be used for chemoselective silylation of primary alcohols in the presence of secondary and tertiary alcohols and phenols. The catalyst was reused several times without loss of its catalytic activity.

Also the catalyst is of high reusability and stability, in that it was recovered several times without loss of its initial activity.

experimental part, p. 63 - 70 (2011/12/02)
New and novel ionic liquid (3-methyl-1-sulfonic acid imidazolium hydrogen sulfate) is a recyclable and eco-benign catalyst for the chemoselective trimethylsilyl protection of hydroxyl groups under solvent-free conditions to afford trimethylsilanes in excellent yields (92-100%) and in very short reaction times (1-8 min). The catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR studies. All the products were extensively characterized by 1H NMR, IR, GC-MS and melting point analyses. A mechanism for the catalytic activity is proposed. The catalyst can be recovered and reused without loss of activity. The work-up of the reaction consists of a simple separation, followed by concentration of the crude product and purification.
