To a solution of 3-cyanophenol (5 g, 42 mmol) and imidazole (6.3 g, 92 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (85 mL) at 0° C. was added (1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilylchloride (7.6 g, 50 mmol). After stirring 10 min, the reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 24 h. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residual oil was partitioned between water (100 mL) and diethyl ether (300 mL). The separated diethyl ether layer was washed with water (3×100 mL) and brine (100 mL), then was dried (MgSO4) and filtered. The filtrate was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was flash chromatographed (silica gel, 50% ethyl acetate in petroleum ether) to yield 3-[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]benzonitrile (9 g, 92% yield) as an oil.
