In the present work, investigation of the catalytic activity of tetrakis(p-aminophenyl)porphyrinatotin(IV) trifluoromethanesulfonate, [Sn-IV(TNH2PP)(OTf)(2)]. supported on chloromethylated polystyrene in the trimethylsilylation of alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane is reported. The prepared catalyst was characterized by elemental analysis, FT-IR and diffuses reflectance UV-Vis spectroscopic methods. This catalyst was used for selective trimethylsilylation of different alcohols and phenols with HMDS, with short reaction times and high yields. Also the catalyst is of high reusability and stability, in that it was recovered several times without loss of its initial activity. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
