B. Movassagh et al., Desilylation-acetylation of trimethylsilyl ethers with acetic anhydride catalysed by montmorillonite K-10, J CHEM R-S, (7), 2000, pp. 348-349
Two mild and simple one-step desilylation-acetylations of a variety of alky
l- and aryl-trimethylsilyl ethers, Me3SiOR(Ar), with acetic anhydride in th
e presence of montmorillonite K-10 clay are described.
