Imidazole → {3-[3-(Benzyloxy)phenyl]propoxy}(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-[3-(benzyloxy)phenyl]-1-propanol (1.73 g) in DMF (20 mL) were added imidazole (1.07 g) and tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (1.83 g) at ambient temperature and the mixture was stirred at the same temperature for 2 hours. Water (20 mL) was added to the mixture at ambient temperature and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc (20 mL) two times. The organic layer was washed successively with 12% NaCl aqueous solution and brine, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to afford {3-[3-(benzyloxy)phenyl]propoxy}(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (2.96 g) as a colorless oil.
