Procedure

To a stirred solution of 456 mg of 4-hydroxy-4-vinyl-1-iodo-trans-1-octene and 320 mg of imidazole in 1.0 ml of dimethylformamide is added 0.23 ml of chlorotrimethylsilane during 3 minutes. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for 22 hours and partitioned with a mixture of cold hexane and water. The hexane layer is washed repeatedly with water and then brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give an oil, pmr spectrum (CDCl3): 0.13 (s, trimethylsiloxy group) and 2.32 (d, =CHCH2).
