Participants

Reaction Steps

In dry DMF (200 ml) was dissolved 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)cyclohexanone (7.86 g) followed by addition of imidazole (9.53 g) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (10 g), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with hexane (500 ml), washed successively with aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, diluted hydrochloric acid, aqueous sodium hydrogen carbonate, and aqueous sodium chloride and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was then distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was further subjected to vacuum distillation to give 7.55 g of 2-[2-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl]cyclohexanone as a colorless oil.
