Participants

Reaction Steps

Using the procedure of Example 6A substituting 1-chloro-3-pentanol (50 g, 0.41 moles), tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (71, 0.47 moles), imidazole (32.6 g, 0.48 moles), and dimethylformamide (150 ml), there is obtained (3-chloro-1-ethylpropoxy)(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilane. The crude product is fractionally distilled under vacuum leaving a clear, colorless oil (78 g, 0.33 moles), BP 48° C./0.1 mm.
