Participants

Reaction Steps

To a chloroform solution (10 mL) of 1,1,1-trifluoro-2-methylpropan-2-ol (500 mg, 3.90 mmol), 1,1′-carbonyldiimidazole (696 mg, 4.29 mmol) was added at room temperature and the resultant solution was stirred for 1 day. To the reaction solution, water was added and extraction with chloroform from the resultant mixture was performed twice. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. To an acetonitrile solution of the obtained residue, methyl iodide (2.21 g, 15.6 mmol) was added and the resultant mixture was stirred for 1 week. The reaction solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product of the title compound and the crude product was used in the next reaction as it was.
