Imidazole → 1,2,3,6-Tetrahydrobenzylalcohol, tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of 1,2,3,6-tetrahydrobenzylalcohol (1) (1.12 g, 10 mmol) and imidazole (1.36 g, 20 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was added TBDMSCl (1.81 g, 12 mmol). After 20 hours, the mixture was treated with brine (100 mL) and the product was extracted with hexanes (3×80 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (100 mL), dried over MgSO4 and evaporated in vacuo to give compound (2) (2.26 g, 100%) as colorless liquid. Rf0.29 (hexanes). 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 5.65-5.64 (m, 2H), 3.48 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 3.45 (d, J=2.3 Hz, 1H), 2.08-2.00 (m, 3H), 1.82-1.66 (m, 3H), 1.32-1.19 (m, 1H), 0.89 (s, 9H), 0.04 (s, 6H); 13C NMR (CDCl3) δ 127.04, 126.23, 67.95, 36.34, 28.23, 25.97, 25.70, 25.33, 24.78, 18.38, −5.32.
