Imidazole → 4,5-Dichloro-2-({[(1,1-dimethylethyl)(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}methyl)-1-({[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]oxy}methyl)-1H-imidazole

Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (282 mg, 4.14 mmol) was added to a solution of [4,5-dichloro-1-({[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]oxy}methyl)-1H-imidazol-2-yl]methanol (614 mg, 2.07 mmol) and chloro(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilane (345 mg, 2.28 mmol) in DCM (8 mL) at RT under N2. The mixture was stirred overnight. Aqueous NH4Cl was then added. Extracted with DMC and the extracts were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (0-10% EtOAc in hexane) to give the title compound (845 mg, 99%) as a colorless oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-d) δ ppm 5.42 (2H, s) 4.74 (2H, s) 3.53-3.59 (2H, m) 0.87-0.95 (11H, m) 0.09 (6H, s) 0.00 (9H, s). LCMS: m/z 411 (M+1).
