After 15 minutes the cooling bath was removed and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. TLC monitoring showed complete conversion in 100% DCM as mobile phase. Extraction with water and DCM afforded crude product that was obtained following evaporation of the solvent under reduced pressure. Column chromatography on silica (100% DCM) gave pure (R)-9-(6-tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-yl)nonyl methanesulfonate in high yields (following high vacuum).
