Imidazole → (4-Bromo-indan-1-yloxy)-tert-butyl-dimethyl-silane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ol INT-28 (2.56 g, 12.0 mm) in DMF (5 mL) were added TBDMSCl (2.17 g, 14.4 mmol) and imidazole (2 g, 30.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature overnight. The reaction mixture was diluted with Inter and extracted with EA. The organic layers were washed with water and brine, and dried over MgSO4. The crude product was purified by chromatography (EA/hexane) to afford (4-bromo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-yloxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane INT-29 (3.3 g, 84%) as a clear oil. LCMS-ESI (m/z) calculated for C15H23BrOSi: 327.3; found 195.0 [M−OTBS]+, tR=3.07 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.20 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H), 7.06 (d, J=7.4 Hz, 1H), 6.92 (t, J=7.7 Hz, 1H), 5.13 (t, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 2.85 (ddd, J=16.4, 9.1, 2.9 Hz, 1H), 2.57 (dt, J=16.5, 8.3 Hz, 1H), 2.36-2.17 (m, 1H), 1.76 (dtd, J=12.8, 8.8, 7.1 Hz, 1H), 0.83-0.72 (m, 9H), 0.05-0.06 (m, 6H).
