Imidazole → (3-Benzyloxy-4-nitrophenoxy)-tert-butyldimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution of 3-benzyloxy-4-nitrophenol (EP application 095121) (6.3 g, 25.7 mmol), t-butyldimethychlorosilane (5.81 g, 38.6 mmol), imidazole (3.5 g, 51.4 mmol), and dimethylaminopyridine (2-3 mg) in DMF (20 mL) is stirred 18 h. The solution is poured into EtOAc and extracted once with water and five times with brine. The organic phase is dried, filtered, and concentrated to afford the title compound: 1H NMR (CDCl3δ 7.73 (d, J=9.1 Hz, 1H), 7.21 (m, 5H), 6.31 (d, J=2.5 Hz, 1H), 6.26 (dd, J=8.8, 2.5 Hz, 1H), 5.02 (s, 2H), 0.78 (s, 9H), 0.00 (s, 6H).
