Participants

Reaction Steps

2-(3-Hydroxyphenyl)nitrobenzene, as described above in Step B, (8.07 g, 37.52 mmol), imidazole (7.66 g, 112.56 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (6.22 g, 41.27 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (30 mL) and stirred for 0.75 hour. The DMF was removed in vacuo and the resulting residue was taken up in water and dimethyl ether and extracted with dimethyl ether (3×). The combined organic extracts were dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was chromatographed on silica gel, eluting with a gradient of 0% to 4% EtOAc in hexanes, to yield the above-titled compound.
