Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

Guaiacol (2-methoxy-phenol, 34.6 mmol) is mixed with TIPSCl (51.9 mmol) and imidazole (103.8 mmol) in a tube. The mixture is heated in the microwave oven at 180° C. for 3 minutes. The oily mixture is diluted with EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with NaHSO4 (1 M) (2×50 mL) and brine (50 mL). After drying over anhydrous Na2SO4, the filtrate is concentrated. The resultant crude mixture is purified by silica flash chromatography (2% EtOAc/hexane) to yield triisopropyl-(2-methoxy-phenoxy)-silane as a colorless oil. Yield: 69%. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 6.8-6.89 (m, 4H), 3.8 (s, 3H), 1.22-1.28 (m, 3H), 1.1 (s, 9H), 1.08 (s, 9H). LC/MS (ES+): (M+1), 281.2. Rf=0.8 (5% EtOAc/hexane). (Note: Alternatively, conventional heating might be adopted in which case NMP is the solvent of choice).
