Procedure

0.077 mol (10.0 g) of ethyl(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate is dissolved in 90 ml of dimethylformamide and 0.151 mol (10.3 g) of imidazole is added. The mixture is cooled to 0° C. under protective gas in an ice bath and 0.083 mol (16.05 g) of triisopropylsilyl chloride is added dropwise over 5 min. The mixture is stirred at room temperature for a further 5 hours, hydrolyzed with water, the product is extracted with tert-butyl methyl ether, and the organic phase is dried using Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure on a rotary evaporator.
