Water → 1-(Tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxymethyl)-2,6-dimethyl-3-(phthalimidoacetylamino)benzene

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a suspension of 3-amino-1-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylbenzene (42.4 g) in pyridine (17.2 g) and dimethylformamide (212 ml) was dropwise added phthalimidoacetyl chloride (25.6 g) over the period of 15 minutes under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred for 1 hour at the same temperature. To the reaction mixture was added water, and the resulting precipitates were collected by filtration and washed with acetonitrile to give 1-(tert-butyldiphenylsilyloxymethyl)-2,6-dimethyl-3-(phthalimidoacetylamino)benzene (59.1 g) as colorless crystals.
