Fund Project: We are thankful to the University of Guilan Research Council for the partial support of this work.

Nanocrystalline TiO₂ was used as an efficient and recyclable catalyst for the chemoselective trimethylsilylation of primary and less hindered secondary alcohols and phenols with hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). All reactions were performed under mild and completely heterogeneous conditions in good to excellent yields.
