Imidazole → HCID 11077853, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Imidazole (6.6 g, 97.2 mmol) and DMF (75 ml) were added to (R)-glycidol (2.7 ml, 40.5 mmol) (13a), and the resulting mixture was stirred. Then, TBDPSCl (12.6 ml, 48.6 mmol) was added and reacted at 0° C. overnight. Next day, after disappearance of the spots of the raw material was observed by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) (hereinafter referred to as TLC), the product was extracted with ethyl acetate and distilled water, to recover an organic layer. The organic layer was washed with saturated sodium hydrogen carbonate and a saturated salt solution, and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated using a vacuum evaporator, and the residue was isolated and purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=50:1). Thus, a compound (13b) (S)-tert-butyl(oxiran-2-ylmethoxy)diphenylsilane (4.5664 g, 15 mmol, 37%) was obtained as a colorless and transparent liquid.
