“…By using HMDS, ammonia is produced as a by‐product but the disadvantage of HMDS is its low silylating ability in the absence of a suitable catalyst which increases the reaction times . To enhance the silylating power of HMDS, a variety of catalysts, including trichloroisocyanuric acid, silica‐supported perchloric acid, ZrCl 4 , K‐10 montmorillonite, LiClO 4 , H 3 PW 12 O 40 , iodine, InBr 3 , zirconium sulfophenylphosphonate, CuSO 4 ⋅5H 2 O, sulfonic acid‐functionalized nanoporous silica, MgBr 2 OEt 2 , LaCl 3 , poly( N ‐bromobenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide) and N , N , N ′, N ′‐tetrabromobenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide, Fe(TFA) 3 , Fe 3 O 4 , ( n ‐Bu 4 N)Br, ZrO(OTf) 2 , [Sn IV (TNH 2 PP)(OTf) 2 ]/CM‐MIL‐101, [Sn IV (TNH 2 PP)(OTf) 2 ]@CMP, [Sn IV (TPP)(OTf) 2 ], [Sn IV (TPP)(BF 4 ) 2 ], [V IV (TPP)(OTf) 2 ], Ru III (OTf)SalophenCH 2 –NHSiO 2 –Fe and [Ti IV (salophen)(OTf) 2 ], have been reported. Although these procedures provide an improvement, many of these catalysts need long reaction times, severe drastic reaction conditions or tedious workups, are moisture sensitive or are expensive.…”
