Imidazole → 4-Bromobenzyloxy-tert-butyldimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

4-Bromobenzyl alcohol (50.00 g, 267.3 mmol), tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (52.38 g, 347.5 mmol), and imidazole (23.66 g, 347.5 mmol) were dissolved in anhydrous DMF (300 mL). This solution was allowed to stir at room temperature overnight and then poured into ice-water (600 mL). The organic layer was separated off and washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (2×200 mL) and water (2×200 mL). We obtained colorless oil (71.9 g, 88%): 1H NMR (CDCl3): δ 0.10 (s, (CH3)2Si), 0.94 (s, (CH3)3C), 4.7 (s, CH2O), 7.20 (d, J=7.8 Hz, C6H4), 7.45 (d, J=7.8 Hz, C6H4); 13C NMR (CDCl3): δ.
