Imidazole → (2-Bromoethoxy)(tert-butyl)diphenylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl chloride (20.32 g, 74.03 mmol) and imidazole (6.25 g, 91.9 mmol) was treated dropwise with 2-bromoethanol (47, 5 mL, 8.87 g, 70.8 mmol). Stirring was continued for 12 h. The mixture was diluted with Et2O and water. The phases were separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted Et2O. The organic extract was washed with water and dried over Na2SO4. Concentration of the sample yielded a pale brown oil (26.01 g, 97%): 1H NMR δ 1.11 (s, 9H), 3.45 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 3.96 (t, J=6.3 Hz, 2H), 7.42-7.47 (m, 6H), 7.70-7.73 (m, 4H); 13C NMR δ 19.52, 27.03, 33.43, 64.24, 128.04, 130.10, 133.49, 135.84.
