Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-hydroxyphenethyl alcohol (6.0 g, 43.4 mmol) in 275 mL of CH2Cl2 was added 6.55 g (43.4 mmol) of TBDMS-Cl (tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride), cooled to 0° C., then added 7.0 mL (86.8 mmol) of pyridine. The reaction mixture was stirred at ambient temperature overnight. Upon concentration, the crude mixture was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (eluted with hexane then 5% EtOAc/hexane) to provide 8.9 g of a clear oil: 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 9.17 (s, 1H), 7.04 (m, 1H), 6.60 (m, 3H), 3.73 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 2,65 (t, J=6.9 Hz, 2H), 0.83 (s, 9H), −0.03 (s, 6H).
