Dicyclohexylcarbodiimide → 5-Bromo-2-(3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-propoxy)-4-chloro-benzoic acid 2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl ester

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a stirring dichloromethane solution (40 mL) containing 5-bromo-2-(3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-propoxy)-4-chloro-benzoic acid (2.3 g, 5.9 mmol) and 2-(trimethylsilyl)-ethanol (1.8 g, 8.9 mmol), dicyclohexyl-carbodiimide (1.83 g, 8.9 mmol) and DMAP (108 mg, 0.9 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred at rt for 16 hrs and was concentrated. The residue was purified via silica gel flash chromatography (eluting with 20% ethyl acetate in hexane) to afford 5-bromo-2-(3-tert-butoxycarbonyl-propoxy)-4-chloro-benzoic acid 2-trimethylsilanyl-ethyl ester (3.2 g). MS ion (APCl): 482.0, 441.0, 410.9. tR=3.61 min (method 1)
