Imidazole → Pyridine, 2-bromo-6-[[[(1,1-dimethylethyl)dimethylsilyl]oxy]methyl]-

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 10 g of (6-bromo-pyridin-2-yl)methanol in 50 ml of N,N-dimethylformamide were successively added 4 g of imidazole and 8.4 g of tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride at room temperature, followed by stirring the reaction mixture at room temperature for 2 hours. After adding water to the reaction mixture, the mixture was extracted with n-hexane. The resulting hexane solution was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give the title compound as colorless oil.
