Imidazole → HCID 67958400, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a 100 ml round-bottomed flask (3-{[(methyloxy)methyl]oxy}phenyl)methanol (Intermediate 95, 3.5 g) was dissolved in dichloromethane (20 ml) to give a colourless solution. 1H-imidazole (1.700 g, 24.97 mmol) and chloro(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilane (3.64 g, 24.14 mmol) were added. The reaction mixture immediately became a white suspension and was stirred at room temperature. After overnight stirring the reaction was completed. The reaction mixture was then quenched with 10 ml of water and diluted with 10 ml of dichloromethane. The phases were separated through a separating funnel. The organic phase was dried using a hydrophobic frit and evaporated under vacuum to give 6.0082 g of the crude product as a colourless oil which was purified via Biotage SP1 (with cyclohexane/EtOAc as eluents from 1:0 to 5:1 in 10 CV; then 5:1 for 5 CV; then from 5:1 to 1:1 in 5 CV; 100 g SNAP Silica column). Two fractions of the title compound were collected: 1.70 g of a colourless oil (purity: 93%) and 3.70 g of a colourless oil (purity: 98%).
