Imidazole → (3S)-3-({[tert-Butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)morpholine

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3R)-Morpholine-3-methanol (84.8 mg, 0.72 mmol), t-butyldimethylchlorosilane (0.11 g, 0.72 mmol), and imidazole (59.1 mg, 0.87 mmol) were allowed to react in 1 mL of dichloromethane at room temperature for 2 hours. The reaction product was purified by silica gel chromatography (dichloromethane:methanol:acetone=15:1:0.5) to obtain (3S)-3-(t-butyldimethylsilyloxy)methylmorpholine (0.15 g, 92%) as a colorless oil.
