Reaction Steps

A solution of t-butyldiphenylsilylchloride (45 g, 165 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (60 ml) is added dropwise to a stirred solution of 2-hydroxymethyl-2-propene-1-ol (12 g, 165 mmol) triethylamine (27.5 ml) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (2 g) in anhydrous dichloromethane (300 ml) at 0° C. Then, the mixture is stirred at 20° C. overnight, washed with a saturated solution of ammonium chloride and brine. The title product is obtained by flash chromatography on silica gel (19.4 g, 40%).
