Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (5.22 g) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (8.64 g) were added to a solution of (5-bromo-2-chlorophenyl)methanol (8.47 g) in DMF (80 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. The mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed twice with water. The aqueous layer was again extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined 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 (12.6 g).
