Reaction Steps

To a suspension of sodium hydride (4.63 g, 0.12 mol) in tetrahydrofuran (150 ml) was added 1,2,4-triazole (8.0 g, 0.12 mol) at room temperature under nitrogen. The mixture was cooled to 0° C. and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethylchloride (20.5 ml, 0.12 mol) added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight, water (100 ml) was added and the mixture diluted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried ((MgSO4) and evaporated in vacuo and the residue distilled to give the title-compound (14.6 g, 63%), bp 110° C. at 6 mm Hg; 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3) δ 0.01-0.03 (9H, s, 3 of CH3), 0.93 (2H, m, CH2), 3.63 (2H, m, CH2), 5.52 (2H, s, CH2), 7.99 (1H, s, Ar—H), 8.26 (1H, s Ar—H).
