Imidazole → 6-Benzyloxy-1-[2-(tert-butyldimethyl-silanyloxy)-propyl]-1H-indazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 1-(6-benzyloxyindazol-1-yl)-propan-2-ol (10 g, 35.5 mmol) in THF (100 mL) and imidazole (3.4 g, 50 mmol) was added tert-butyl-chloro-dimethyl-silane (6.42 g, 42.6 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 15 min at ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was poured into a saturated aqueous solution of ammonium acetate (300 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×150 mL). Purification by chromatography (silica, EtOAc/hexane) gave a yellow solid (10.6 g, 76%): mp 56-58° C.; LC/MS (+APCI) m/z 397 (M+H).
