Imidazole → 3-((tert-Butyldiphenylsilyl)oxy)-N-methoxy-N-methylcyclobutanecarboxamide

Participants

Reaction Steps

Into a solution of 3-hydroxy-N-methoxy-N-methylcyclobutanecarboxamide (0.6 g, 0.004 mol in DMF (10 mL) was added tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane (3 mL, 0.01 mol), followed by 1H-imidazole (1 g, 0.02 mol). The mixture was stirred at rt over night. The reaction was diluted with dichloromethane and washed with sat. NaHCO3, water and brine. The organic layers were dried over MgSO4, concentrated and purified with Combiflash (silica gel, 0-30% EtOAc/Hex) to give the desired product (0.7 g, 50%) as cis- and trans-isomer mixtures. LCMS calculated for C23H32NO3Si(M+H)+: 398.2; Found: 398.1.
