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

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 1H-imidazole (1.06 g, 15.6 mmol) and 2-(4-bromophenyl)ethanol (2.19 g, 10.9 mmol) in THF (20 mL) at room temperature was added tert-butylchlorodimethylsilane (1.81 g, 12.0 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h and diluted with hexanes. The organic phase was washed with water (2×), brine (1×), dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to give (4-bromophenethoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane 65 which was used in the next step without further purification.
