After 16 h the reaction was diluted with Et2O and then washed with 1N HCl, saturated aqueous NaHCO3 and brine. The organic portion was dried (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica gel, 100% hex followed by 19:1 hex/EtOAc) afforded 2.8 g (82%) of silyl ether 2 (see Scheme 1).
