Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (26.5 g) is added to a solution of 6,6-ethylenedioxy-2-methyl-heptanol (33.35 g) in dimethylformamide (50 ml). A solution of t-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride (52.2 g) in dimethylformamide (200 ml) is added dropwise to the reaction mixture and allowed to stir for 3 hours at room temperature. The reaction mixture is extracted with hexane (3×300 ml) and the combined extract is washed with brine and dried (Na2SO4). The solvent is removed in vacuo to give 1-t-butyldiphenylsiloxy-6,6-ethylenedioxy-2-methyl-heptane (75.35 g, 99.6%); nmr (CDCl3,δ), 0.91 (d, 3H, CH3CH), 1.03 [s, (CH3)3C], ##STR43## 3.47 (d, CHCH2O), 3.88 (s, OCH2CH2O), 7.2-7.8 (m, 10 H, 2φ).
