Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

To a solution of tert-butyldimethyl(3-(thiophen-2-yl)propoxy)silane (787 mg, 3.07 mmol) in 15 mL 9:1 tetrahydrofuran/hexamethylphosphoramide under argon at −78° C. was added n-butyllithium (1.35 mL, 2.5 M in hexanes) dropwise over 5 minutes. The resulting solution was stirred at −78° C. for 1 h. Dimethylformamide (1.18 mL, 15.35 mmol) was added dropwise and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature before being poured into 100 mL of 1 N hydrochloric acid. Organics were extracted with ether (2×75 m), dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and concentrated to give crude 5-(3-((t-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)propyl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde. Used without further purification.
