tert-Butyldimethylsilyl chloride → 5-[3-(Tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one

Participants

Reaction Steps

Analogous to the procedure described for Example 1A, Step C, 5-[4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-3-hydroxy-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (1.53 g, 5.71 mmol) was reacted with tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (0.97 g, 6.4 mmol). Purification by medium pressure chromatography using a solvent gradient (1:1 hexanes:EtOAc to EtOAc to 1% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to 2% MeOH in CH2Cl2 to 4% MeOH in CH2Cl2) provided 5-[3-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-4-(3-chloro-phenyl)-butyl]-pyrrolidin-2-one (1.77 g). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ7.16 (m, 3H), 7.01 (m, 1H), 5.61 (d, 1H), 3.83 (m, 1H), 3.58 (m, 1H), 2.68 (m, 2H), 2.28 (m, 3H), 1.73-1.36 (m, 5H), 0.84 (s, 9H), −0.05 (s, 3H), −0.2 (d, 3H).
