Reaction Steps

To a solution of 5-amino-4-bromo-2-chloro-phenol (0.338 g, 1.52 mmol) in NMP (5 ml) was added cesium carbonate (0.644 g, 1.97 mmol), sodium iodide (0.228 g, 1.52 mmol) and 2-bromoethoxy tertbutyldimethylsilane (0.424 g, 1.97 mmol). The mixture was heated to 100° C. for two hours, then cooled to room temperature. Water was added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic extracts were washed with water and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (hex:EtOAc/8:2) gave 2-bromo-5-[2-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-ethoxy]-4-chlorophenylamine (0.505 g, 78%) as a white solid.
