Procedure

Following a published procedure,24 2-bromoethanol (10.0 mL, 141 mmol) was added to a mixture of imidazole (12.5 g, 184 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (21.1 g, 140 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (25 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Water and diethyl ether were added. The phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with diethyl ether. The combined organic phases were washed with water and brine. The solution was dried (Na2SO4). Evaporation of the solvent followed by bulb-to-bulb distillation (40-45° C./0.05 mmHg) yielded a colorless liquid (32.5 g, 97%): IR (film, νmax cm−1) 2951, 2859, 1471; 1H NMR δ 0.07 (s, 6H), 0.89 (s, 9H), 3.36-3.41 (m, 2H), 3.85-3.90 (m, 2H); 13C NMR δ −5.06, 18.49, 26.04, 33.45, 63.74; EI-MS 137/139, 181/183, calcd 238.0389 (C8H19BrOSi); Anal. Calcd C, 40.17; H, 8.01. Found: C, 40.55; H, 8.25.
