Imidazole → HCID 20519039, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of imidazole (2.3 g, 34 mmole) and 4-bromonaphthol (13, 5.0 g, 22 mmole) in DMF (10 mL) at 0° C. was added t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (3.7 g, 24.6 mmole) in several portions. The mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between Et2O (500 mL) and water (300 mL) and the aqueous layer was back-extracted with Et2O (300 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (300 mL) and brine (300 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (silica gel, hexanes) to afford (4-bromonaphthalen-1-yloxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (14, 6.4 g, 85%) as a white solid: 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.21 8.14 (m, 2H), 7.61-7.49 (m, 3H), 6.74 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 1.10 (s, 9H), 0.28 (s, 6H).
