Hydrochloric Acid → 1-Bromo-3-((((1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl)oxy)methyl)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

TBSCl (18.7 g, 124.3 mmol), Et3N (14.08 g, 139.2 mmol) and DMAP (194.3 mg, 8.9 mmol) were dissolved in CH2Cl2 (120 mL), then the solution was cooled to 0-5° C. (3-bromophenyl)methanol (18.5 g, 99.4 mmol) was added dropwise to the solution. After the addition, the mixture was warmed to room temperature, and stirred for 2 h. 5% HCl was added to the reaction mixture to pH=4-5, then the organic phase was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with CH2Cl2 (50 mL×2). The combined organic phase was washed with water, and dried over Na2SO4. After removing the solvent, 28.5 g of {[(3-Bromophenyl)methyl]oxy}(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilane was obtained (Yield: 95.1%).
