Triethylamine → 2-Formyl-5-methoxy-6-methyl-3-[dimethyl-(1,1,2-trimethyl-propyl)silanyloxy]-benzoic acid allyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 75.1 g of 2-formyl-3-hydroxy-5-methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid allyl ester in 0.6 l of N,N-dimethylformamide were added 81.0 g of dimethyl-(1,1,2-trimethyl-propyl)-chlorosilane and 45.5 g of triethylamine. The mixture was stirred for 4 h at room temperature and then evaporated in vacuo. The residue was taken up in 2 l of ethyl acetate, and the mixture was successively washed with 1N hydrochloric acid and with brine, and dried over sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the residue was crystallized from hexane to give 108.8 g of 2-formyl-5-methoxy-6-methyl-3-[dimethyl-(1,1,2-trimethyl-propyl)silanyloxy]-benzoic acid allyl ester as white crystals of m.p. 81°-82° C.
