Reaction Steps

To a stirred solution of trimethyl(prop-1-ynyl)silane (3 g, 26.7 mmol) in dry THF (100 mL) cooled at −72° C., was added drop by drop 2.5 N nBuLi in hexane solution (10.5 mL, 26.2 mmol). The resulting mixture was stirred at −75° C. for 1 h 30. Then 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane (2.42 g, 26.2 mmol) in dry THF (2 mL) was slowly added. The resulting mixture was stirred at −72° C. for 1 h 30, then warmed up to room temperature for an additional 1 h. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase was dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to afford 4.50 g trimethyl(4-(oxiran-2-yl)but-1-ynyl)silane (Yield: 100%) as a yellow oil which was used in the next step without further purification.
