Imidazole → HCID 23358296, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of the crude 4-bromo-1-indanol (1.02 g) in dimethylformamide (10 ml) were added at an ice temperature imidazole (0.645 g) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (0.857 g). The reaction mixture was stirred at the same temperature overnight, poured into a saturated aqueous saline solution and extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous saline, dried over sodium sulfate, and the solvent was removed by distillation under reduced pressure. The residual concentrate (1.6 g) was purified by chromatography on a silica gel column to give the title compound (1.51 g).
