Reaktionsschritte

A solution of 15.3 mL of sec-BuLi 1.3 M in hexane/cyclohexane (19.91 mmol) was added dropwise to a stirred solution of 3.0 g of 2-methoxynaphthalene (18.96 mmol) in 70 mL of tetrahydrofuran (THF) at a temperature of −30° C. and for a period of time of 15 min. After stirring overnight at room temperature, to the resultant tinted solution was added a solution of 5.87 g of Ph3SiCl (19.91 mmol) and 3.46 mL of hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) (19.88 mmol) in 50 mL of THF. The reaction mixture was heated at reflux for a period of time of 20 h, cooled and diluted with 500 mL of water. The organic part was extracted with 3 times 50 mL of Et2O. The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, and evaporated. The crude residue was recrystallised from heptane and dried under vacuum to give 7.11 g of (3-methoxy-2-naphthyl)(triphenyl)silane (17.07 mmol) with a yield of 90%.
