Participants

Reaction Steps

Triisopropylsilyl chloride (166 mL, 961.5 mmol) was slowly added to a mixture of 3,4-difluorophenol (125 g, 961.5 mmol) and imidazole (65.4 g, 961.5 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (500 mL), and the resulting solution stirred overnight at room temperature. The reaction mixture was diluted with water (1500 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3×300 mL). The combined organic layers washed with water (3×200 mL) and brine (2×200 mL), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified via column chromatography on silica gel (eluting with petroleum ether) to afford (3,4-difluorophenoxy)triisopropylsilane (220 g, 80%) as a colorless oil.
