Triethylamine → [2-(4-Bromophenyl)ethoxy](tert-butyl)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-(4-bromophenyl)ethanol (5 g, 25 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (150 mL) was added triethylamine (7.5 g, 75 mmol), DMAP (300 mg, 2.5 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (7.5 g, 50 mmol) sequentially. The resulting pale brown solution was stirred at room temperature for overnight. The reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane and water three times. The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodiumsulphate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product was subjected to column chromatography with PE as eluant to afford the subtitle compound as a brown oil (7.1 g).
