Direct Oxidative Deprotection using Montmorillonite Supported Bis(trimethylsilyl)chromate

Abstract

Direct oxidative deprotection of different trimethylsilyl ethers to their corresponding carbonyl compounds has been achieved using montmorillonite K-10 supported bis(trimethylsilyl)chromate in dichloromethane.

To a solution of hexamethyldisiloxane (6.4 ml, 0.03 mol) in 20 ml of dry dichloromethane was added chromic anhydride (3 g, 0.03 mol). The reaction mixture was stirred in an oil-bath at 50 °C for 5 h. Solid chromic anhydride dissolved and the dark red mixture became a homogeneous solution. Montmorillonite K-10 (13 g) pre-dried in a 120 °C oven overnight and activated in a microwave oven for 3 min was added to the warm reaction mixture and the resulting mixture was stirred for a further 5 h. The solvent and other volatile components were distilled under reduced pressure to afford 19 g of supported chromium oxidant.
