Imidazole → 8-(Tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)quinoline-2-carbaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

8-Hydroxyquinoline-2-carbaldehyde (5.00 g, 28.9 mmol) and imidazole (4.32 g, 63.5 mmol) were dissolved in DCM (50 mL) under N2. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0° C. after which time tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane (4.94 g, 31.8 mmol) was added. After stirring for 16 hours at ambient temperature, the reaction mixture was partitioned between DCM and H2O. The organic layer was washed with H2O and aqueous saturated NaHCO3, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford an orange oil. The residue was purified via flash column chromatography (10:1 Hexane/EtOAc) to provide 6.85 g (83%) of desired product as a yellow/orange oil.
