Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyl 6-hydroxyhexylcarbamate (21 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (30 ml) was added imidazole (27 mmol) at 0° C. The reaction mixture was kept at 25° C. and stirred for 20 min, then cooled to 0° C. To the resulting reaction mixture was added tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (23 mmol) dropwise over 30 min at 0° C. The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 25° C. and stirred for 16 h and then filtered. The filtrate was washed with 1 N HCl (2×25 ml) and brine (30 ml), dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by SiO2 flash column (eluent: petroleum ether and then CH2Cl2). Yield 6.53 g (87% yield).
