Imidazole → Silane, (4-bromophenoxy)(1,1-dimethylethyl)diphenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

80.89 g of p-bromophenol, 400 ml of dimethylformamide, 31.18 g of imidazole and 125.89 g of 1,1-dimethyl-ethyl-diphenylchlorosilane were stirred for 2 hours at ambient temperature and the reaction medium was poured into 2 liters of water. Extraction was carried out with ethyl acetate, followed by decanting, drying and evaporating under reduced pressure. After crystallization from pentane, separation was carried out, followed by drying to obtain 179.24 g of the expected product with a Rf=0.53 (thin layer chromatography, support: silica, eluant: cyclohexane/AcOEt 95/5) and a melting point of 56° C.
