Imidazole → Silane, (4-bromophenoxy)(1,1-dimethylethyl)diphenyl-

Participants

Reaction Steps

400 ml of dimethylformamide, 31.18 g of imidazole and 125.89 g of 1,1-dimethyl-ethyldiphenyl-chlorosilane are added under an inert atmosphere and at ambient temperature to 80.89 g of parabromophenol, then the solution obtained is agitated for 2 hours. The reaction medium is poured into 2 liters of water, precipitation is observed, the solid is solubilized with ethyl acetate and the aqueous phase is extracted with ethyl acetate, the combined organic phases are dried and evaporated under reduced pressure until an oil is obtained. Pentane is added and crystallisation is observed. After filtration and drying of the precipitate 179.24 g of expected product is obtained. Rf: 0.53 (thin layer chromatography, support: silica, eluant Cyclohexane/AcOEt 95/5).
