T. Suzuki et al., A novel and efficient method for the silylation of alcohols with methallylsilanes catalyzed by Sc(OTf)(3), TETRAHEDR L, 41(46), 2000, pp. 8903-8906
Reaction of alcohols with methallylsilanes in the presence of a catalytic a
mount of Sc(OTf)(3) provides efficiently the corresponding alkyl silyl ethe
rs. By using microencapsulated (MC) Sc(OTf)(3), which can be easily recover
ed and reused, yields of alkyl silyl ethers are improved and the work-up pr
ocess after completion of the reaction is considerably simplified. (C) 2000
