Participants

Reaction Steps

To a DMF (0.34 M) solution of (5-bromo-2,3-dichlorophenyl)methanol (1 eq.) from the previous step was added chloro(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilane (1.1 eq.) and imidazole (1.5 eq.). The resulting yellow solution was stirred at RT for 16 h. The reaction mixture was then diluted with ether and washed sequentially with 10% aq. HCl, water and brine. The ether extract was dried Na2SO4, filtered and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to afford the crude title compound as a colorless oil.
