Chlorotrimethylsilane → [1-(3-Bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropyloxy]trimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

Trimethylsilyl chloride (6.54 ml) was added to a solution of 1-(3-bromo-4-methoxyphenyl)cyclopropanol (5.0 g) and triethylamine (8.61 ml) in THF (100 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 days. The reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography to obtain the title compound (3.84 g).
