Participants

Reaction Steps

2.9 ml of trimethylsilyl bromide are added to a solution, stirred at room temperature, of 4 g of 2-benzyloxy-4-tert-butyl-benzyl alcohol in 100 ml of chloroform. The reaction mixture is stirred for a further 1 hour and then partitioned between trichloromethane and water. The organic phases are dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated by evaporation, yielding the title compound: Rf (dichloromethane/hexane=8:2)=0.95.
