Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 1-(3-bromophenyl)-3-hydroxyhex-5-en-1-one (9.08 g, 33.7 mmol), 1H-imidazole (5.34 g, 77.6 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (6.29 g, 40.5 mmol) in DMF (40 mL) is stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The mixture is diluted with dichloromethane and is washed sequentially with water and saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution. The organic layer is dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product is purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with a linear gradient of 0% to 5% ethyl acetate in hexanes over 20 minutes to give the title compound as a racemic mixture (11.3 g, 88%). ES/MS m/e (79Br/81Br) 383, 385 (M+1).
