4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde → 4-{[tert-Butyl(dimethyl)silyl]oxy}benzaldehyde

Participants

Reaction Steps

(3) 4-Hydroxybenzaldehyde (20 g, 0.164 mol) was dissolved in DMF (60 ml) and stirred at RT as imidazole (22.3 g, 0.328 mol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (32.1 g, 0.213 mol) were added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 16 h. The solution was diluted with EtOAc, washed with water, brine, then dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in-vacuo to afford 24 g of crude 4-(tert-butyldimethylsilanyloxy)benzaldehyde.
