Imidazole → Tert-butyl(chroman-4-yloxy)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl-chloro-dimethyl-silane (10.54 g, 70 mmol) was added to a CH2Cl2 (200 mL) solution of 4-chromanol (10.00 g, 66.6 mmol), N-methylmorpholine (10.98 mL, 100 mmol) and imidazole (0.20 g, 3 mmol) at 0° C. The mixture was stirred for 3 days at RT. The reaction was diluted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL), washed with dilute HCl and H2O, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to provide the title compound.
