Dichloromethane → (1-(4-Bromo-2-fluorophenyl)cyclopropoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)cyclopropanol (9.01 g, 39.0 mmol, 1 eq) in DCM (100 mL) imidazole (5.33 g, 78 mmol, 2 eq) was added at 0° C. followed by TBDMSCl (7.08 g, 46.8 mmol, 1.2 eq) and the reaction mixture was stirred for 3 h. The reaction mixture was washed with water (100 mL), brine (100 mL), dried over Na2SO4 and the solvent was evaporated to get (1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)cyclopropoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane which was purified by CC using PE as eluent to yield pure (1-(4-bromo-2-fluorophenyl)cyclopropoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (9.01 g, 67%; TLC system: PE, Rf: 0.8) as a colourless oil.
