Imidazole → 5-(t-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)pent-1-yne

Participants

Reaction Steps

5.00 g (59.4 mmol) of pent-1-yn-5-ol were dissolved in 50 ml of dry DMF, and 10.10 g (149 mmol, 2.5 eq.) of imidazole and 9.40 g (62.4 mmol, 1.1 eq.) of TBS-Cl were added. After 12 hours of stirring at RT, 250 ml of water were added and the mixture was extracted with 3×150 ml of MTBE. The organic phase was washed 3× with in each case 100 ml of water and then dried over MgSO4. Purification by column chromatography gave 11.10 g (53.5 mmol, 90%) of 5-(tert-butyldimethylsiloxy)pent-1-yne as a colorless oil.
