Imidazole → 2-Bromo-5-[1-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethyl]-4-chloro-phenylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1-(5-amino-4-bromo-2-chloro-phenyl)-ethanol (0.195 g, 0.778 mmol) in DMF (3 ml) was added tert-butyl-dimethylsilyl chloride (0.152 g, 1.011 mmol) and imidazole (0.069 g, 1.011 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for six hours. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (hex:EtOAc/9:1) gave 2-bromo-5-[1-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethyl]-4-chloro-phenylamine (0.262 g, 92%) as a clear oil.
