Imidazole → N-(2-(tert-Butyldimethylsilyloxy)ethyl)methylamine

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of tert-butyldimethylchlorosilane (4.2 g, 27.9 mmol) in dichloromethane (10 mL) was added dropwise over 3 min to a stirred solution of 2-(methylamino)ethanol (2.0 g, 26.6 mmol) and imidazole in dichloromethane (20 mL) at room temperature. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. Water (20 mL) was added and the phases were separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with dichloromethane then the combined organic phases were passed through a phase separation cartridge and the solvent removed under reduced pressure to afford a colorless oil (5.10 g, 95%). This was taken through to the next step with no further purification.
