An efficient synthesis of p-arylquinols by the oxidation of 4-arylphenol trimethylsilyl ethers with phenyliodine(III) diacetate (PIDA) is reported. This protocol greatly improved the yield of p-quinol by minimizing oligomer side products compared to the o

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.

In this study, a mild and efficient method is developed for the silylation of diverse functional groups using CeO2 nanoparticles (n-CeO2) as solid catalysts with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as silylating agent at room temperature. Alcohols, phenols and acids are silylated to their respective silyl derivatives with faster reaction rate while amines and thiols required relatively longer reaction time. Moreover, the solid catalyst is easily be separated from the reaction mixture and recycled more than five times without any obvious decay in its activity. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-DRS) and Raman analyses revealed identical structural integrity, particle size, absorption edge and valence state for the reused solid compared to the fresh solid catalyst.

Anatase TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) were synthesized by the sol–gel method using titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TTIP), isopropyl alcohol, and distilled water and then calcined at 400?°C for 3?h. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy methods, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy were used for characterization of the obtained TiO2 NPs. The obtained anatase TiO2 NPs were used as heterogeneous catalyst for trimethylsilation of various alcohols or phenols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) in CH3CN at room temperature. High to quantitative yields of the products were obtained within short reaction times at room temperature using a very low loading of pure TiO2 NPs without any post-modification with Bronsted or Lewis acid species such as ClSO3H or HClO4. The catalyst can be recycled at least three times without significant loss of its activity. The results of this study provide evidence that the pure anatase phase of TiO2 exhibits higher catalytic activity in terms of catalyst loading and required reaction time compared to a mixture of anatase and rutile phases found in the commercial samples for trimethylsilation of various alcohols or phenols with HMDS.
