Abstract

The catalytic activity of 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-aminophenyl)porphyrinatotin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate, [SnIV(TNH2PP)(OTf)2], supported on chloromethylated MIL-101, was investigated in the trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and also their tetrahydropyranylation with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran. Excellent yields, mild reaction conditions, short reaction times and reusability of the catalyst without significant decrease in its initial activity are noteworthy advantages of this supported catalyst.
