Reaction Steps

trans-4-(Hydroxymethyl)-N-methoxy-N-methylcyclohexanecarboxamide (403 mg, 2.00 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (4 mL) was mixed with tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane (514 μL, 2.00 mmol) and 1H-imidazole (136 mg, 2.00 mmol) under cooling with ice and stirred for one day while the temperature was gradually raised to room temperature. After addition of water, the reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the organic layer was washed with saturated aqueous sodium chloride, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate=8/1 (v/v)) to give the title compound as a colorless oil (536 mg, yield 61%).
