Hydrochloride methanol → 4-Bromo-beta,beta-dimethylbenzeneethanol

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of [2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylpropoxy](tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (500 mg, 1.46 mmol) in MeOH (5 mL) was added dropwise HCl/MeOH (5 mL) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction was concentrated to give a crude residue, which was purified by column chromatography to give the title compound (250 mg, 75%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.38 (d, 2 H), 7.19 (d, 2 H), 3.50 (s, 2 H), 1.23 (s, 6 H).
