Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-(tertbutyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)propane (7 g, 29 mmol) in DMF (100 ml) cooled at −70° C. was added 2.5M n-butyllithium (17.4 ml) over 45 minutes. After stirring for 90 minutes at −70° C., methyl iodide (3.6 ml, 58 mmol) was added. After stirring for 2 hours at ambient temperature, the mixture was poured onto saturated ammonium chloride. The mixture was then diluted with ether and ethyl acetate. The organic layer was separated, washed with aqueous sodium thiosulphate followed by brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated to give 3-(tertbutyldimethylsilyloxy)-1-(5-methyl-[1,2,4]-triazol-1-yl)propane (7.3 g, 98%).
