Procedure

Di-tert-butyldifluorosilane was prepared according to the procedure of B. Rempfer et al., J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986, 108, 3893-3897. Following the general procedure of Example 7, di-tert-butyl(1-hydroxy-1-methylethyl)methylsilane was prepared from di-tert-butyldifluorosilane (11.8 g, 65.4 mmol), ethoxyvinyl lithium (prepared from ethyl vinyl ether (4.68 g, 64.9 mmol) and tert-butyl lithium (1.6 M in pentane, 40.6 ml, 65.0 mmol)) in THF (100 ml)) and methyl lithium (1.6 M in Et2O, 280 ml, 448 mmol). The crude product was distilled twice to furnish at 57° C./1.7 mbar 2.10 g (14%) of di-tert-butyl(1-ethoxyvinyl)methylsilane, of which 2.00 g (8.76 mmol) were hydrolysed with acetone/1 N HCl (2:1, 10 ml). Purification by silica-gel chromatography (silica-gel 35-70 μm, hexane/EtOAc, 9:1) followed by bulb-to-bulb distillation (120° C., 80 mbar) afforded 0.93 g (53%) of acetyl(di-tert-butyl)methylsilane (m.p. 35° C.), of which 0.90 g (4.49 mmol) was reacted with methyl lithium (1.6 M in Et2O, 60.0 ml, 96.0 mmol) according to Example 1 to furnish after purification by repeated silica-gel flash chromatography (silica-gel 15-40 μm, hexane/EtOAc, 9:1) 204 mg (21%) of the odoriferous title compound (m.p. 122-123° C.).
