Reaction Steps

According to example 183, 5.00 g of methyl 3-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzoate was silylated using 4.34 g of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride, 3.59 g of imidazole, and 70 mL of anhydrous DMF. The crude product was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (9:1 hexane:EtOAc) to afford 6.1 g (79%) of methyl 3-tert-butyl-4-((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)benzoate as a clear liquid.
