Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10.00 g (45.2 mmol) of methyl 3.5-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzoate dissolved in 100 mL of CH2Cl2 was added 11.06 g (90.2 mmol) of 4-dimethylaminopyridine and 8.18 g (54.2 mmol) of tertbutyldimethylchlorosilane and the mixture was stirred under N2 for 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then filtered and the filtrate was diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water, 1N HCl, saturated NaHCO3, dried (MgSO4), filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified on a silica gel flash chromatography column eluted with 5% ethyl acetate/hexane to afford 7.70 g (51%) of the title compound.
