Procedure

A mixture of 3-hydroxy-benzonitrile (5.0 g, 42.0 mmol) and imidazole (7.15 g, 105 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (100 mL) was treated with tert-butyl-chloro-dimethyl-silane (7.6 g, 50.4 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (50 mL) over 10 min. The reaction was stirred at rt overnight. The reaction mixture was poured into water, and extracted with ethyl acetate (2×). The solvent was removed, and the resulting residue was chromatographered using hexane/ethyl acetate (10:1) to give the title compound (9.27 g, 95%).
