17.1 g of imidazole and 18.9 g of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride are added to a solution of 16 g of trans-1,2-dihydroxymethyl-cyclopentane in 146 ml of dimethylformamide at 0° C. and stirred for 22 hours at 24° C. It is diluted with 1.6 l of ether, shaken twice with 80 ml of 10% sulfuric acid each, washed neutral with water, dried on magnesium sulfate and concentrated by evaporation in a vacuum. The residue is chromatographed on silica gel. With hexane/ethyl acetate (9+1), 12 g of trans-1-(tert-butyldimethylsilyloxymethyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-cyclopentane is obtained as colorless liquid.
