Imidazole → 2-Amino-5-[(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy]benzoic acid

Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (1.8 g, 26.1 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (3.95 g, 26.1 mmol) were added to a solution of the commercially available 5-hydroxyanthranilic acid (1.0 g, 6.54 mmol) in dimethylformamide (40 ml) while cooling in an ice/water bath. The mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 18 hours. Aqueous work-up afforded an impure sample of 2-amino-5-(tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-benzoic acid (1.74 g) that was used in Step (ii) without further purification.
