Chlorotrimethylsilane → [(Cyclooct-1-en-1-yl)oxy](trimethyl)silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of cyclooctanone (40.0 g, 316 mmol) in 200 mL of anhydrous DMF were added triethylamine (TEA, 93.0 mL, 666 mmol) and chlorotrimethylsilane (84.0 mL, 666 mmol). The reaction was heated to reflux. After 15 h, the reaction was quenched with 20 mL of H2O and the DMF was removed on a rotary evaporator. The residue was diluted with hexanes (300 mL), washed with H2O (3×100 mL) and brine (1×50 mL), and dried over MgSO4. Distillation under reduced pressure (20 torr) yielded 58.1 g (93%) of the desired product as a colorless oil, by 108° C. (20 torr) (lit. 106° C. at 25 torr). Nakamura, et al. J. Am. Chem. Soc.
