Dichloromethane → 1-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)-2-propanone

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a DCM (5 mL) solution of 1-hydroxypropan-2-one (500 mg, 6.8 mmol), DMAP (41 mg, 0.34 mmol) and Et3N (1.2 mL, 8.16 mmol) was added TBSCl (1.133 g, 7.5 mmol) at 0° C. under nitrogen atmosphere. The mixture was stirred at r.t. for 2 h. Then the mixture was added water and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was purified by silica gel chromatography using PE/EA (10/1) to give the title compound (950 mg, 75%). EDI-MS (M+1): 189. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 4.057 (s, 2H), 2.080 (s, 3H), 0.832 (s, 9H), 0.001 (s, 6H).
