Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 4-bromo-2-chlorobenzyl alcohol (14.48 g) in N,N-dimethylformamide (72 ml) were added imidazole (5.34 g) and tert-butylchlorodiphenylsilane (19.8 g) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hr. Water was added to the reaction mixture and the resulting product was extracted twice with hexane. The organic layers were combined, washed successively with water, saturated aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and saturated brine, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was applied to silica gel column chromatography (hexane) to give 4-bromo-1-((tert-butyldiphenylsiloxy)methyl)-2-chlorobenzene (29.22 g) as a colorless oil.
