Reaction Steps

To the stirred mixture of 25 g (0.29M) of 3-hydroxy-3-methyl-butyne, 50 ml of anhydrous N,N-dimethyl-formamide and 44.5 g (0.65M) imidazole cooled in an ice-bath was added 50 g (0.33M) tert.butyldimethylsilyl chloride. Stirring in the ice-bath was continued for 15 minutes and then at room temperature overnight. After addition of 250 mg of dimethylaminopyridine, the reaction mixture was heated at 70° C. for two hours and then poured into one liter of cold water. It was then extracted with 5×150 ml of ether. The organic extract was washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and evaporated to dryness. The crude product was purified by vacuum distillation yielding 3-(tert.butyldimethylsilyl)oxy-3-methyl-butyne.
