(Trimethylsilyl)imidazole → HCID 66936844, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of a 2-(4-hydroxy-4-methylpentyl)-spiro[4.5]decan-7-one (19a) (50 mg, 0.198 mmol) in dry THF (1 mL) was added 1-(trimethylsilyl)-imidazole (0.146 mL, 0.99 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 4 hours and the solvent was then removed in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified over silica (petroleum ether/EtOAc, 95:5) to afford the desired product which was used directly for the next reaction step.
