Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

6.50 g (56.7 mmol) of chlorotrimethylsilane were added dropwise to a solution of 5.00 g (56.7 mmol) of neopentyl alcohol (2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol) and 11.6 g (142 mmol) of 1-methylimidazole while stirring at 0° C. The reaction mixture was stirred for a further 2 hours at 0° C. and for 2.5 hours at 20° C. The upper phase was separated off to give 7.80 g (theory: 9.09 g) of 2,2-dimethyl-1-trimethylsilyloxypropane as a colorless oil having a purity of 96% (GC).
