Triethylamine → (2-Bromoethoxy)-tert-butyldimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 2-bromoethanol (5.0 g, 40.3 mmol) in DCM (20 mL) was added tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (9.1 g, 60.5 mmol) followed by the additions of triethylamine (8.14 g, 80.6 mmol) and 4-dimethylaminopyridine (49.2 mg, 0.4 mmol). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 h and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between 1N HCl and ethyl acetate. The aqueous portion was extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organic portion was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to afford yellow oil, which was purified by column chromatography eluting with PE:EA (50:1) to afford 123a as colorless oil (6.0 g, 62.4%). LCMS: (M+H)+ 241.
