Diisopropylethylamine → 3-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)cyclobutyl pivalate

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred mixture of 3-hydroxycyclobutyl pivalate (16.60 g, 96.4 mmol) and diea (25.2 ml, 145 mmol) in DCM (100 ml) at 0° C. was added tert-butyldimethylsilyl triflate (31.0 ml, 135 mmol) dropwise. The reaction was stirred for 2 h, then quenched with H2O. The layers were separated, and the organic layer was washed with saturated NaHCO3, brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to give the title compound as a light brown oil.
