Reaktionsschritte

A solution of tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane (27.1 g, 179.79 mmol) in DCM (50 mL) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of methyl 5-hydroxypentanoate (CAS no. 14273-92-8, Huckstep, M.; Taylor, R. J. K.; Caton, M. P. L. Synthesis 1982, 10, 881) (19.8 g, 149.82 mmol) and 1H-imidazole (15.30 g, 224.73 mmol) in DCM (200 mL) at 5° C., over a period of 10 minutes under nitrogen. The resulting suspension was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with DCM (250 mL), and washed sequentially with water (2×200 mL) and saturated brine (200 mL). The organic layer was dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash silica chromatography, eluting with 10 to 50% ethyl acetate in isohexane to afford the product (19.3 g, 52%).
