((1,1-Dimethyl-2-propynyl)oxy)trimethylsilane → HCID 66643970, compound

Temperature

-78 °C

To a −78° C. stirred solution of trimethyl (2-methylbut-3-yn-2-yloxy) silane (3.3 g, 20.00 mmol) in dry THF (45 mL), n-BuLi (4.1 mL, 9.00 mmol, 1.6 M in hexane) was added dropwise over 10 minutes under an inert atmosphere. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at −78° C., and then a solution of 4-cyano-N-methoxy-N-methylbenzamide (2.0 g, 10.00 mmol) in dry THF (15 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued for an additional 1 h at −78° C. The reaction mixture was quenched with a saturated NH4Cl solution and extracted with EtOAc (2×100 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with water (50 mL) and brine (50 mL), dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo to obtain the crude product. The crude material was purified via silica gel column chromatography eluting with 15% EtOAc in hexanes to afford 4-(4-methyl-4-(trimethylsilyloxy) pent-2-ynoyl)benzonitrile (3.8 g, 68%) as a yellow oil.
