Imidazole → (2-Bromobenzyloxy)tert-butyldimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

2-Bromobenzyl alcohol (25.0 g) was dissolved in N,N-dimethylformamide (150 ml) and imidazole (20.0 g) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (22.2 g) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was poured into 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed successively with 5% aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution, water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and concentrated under reduced pressure to give the title compound (40.9 g).
