Imidazole → Tert-butyl 7-({[tert-butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-7-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-6-oxo-1,4-oxazepane-4-carboxylate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution (20 mL) of tert-butyl 7-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-7-(hydroxymethyl)-6-oxo-1,4-oxazepane-4-carboxylate (1.27 g) in DMF were added imidazole (266 mg) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (540 mg), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hr. The reaction solution was diluted with ethyl acetate, the mixture was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to give the title compound (1.35 g).
