Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyldimethylchlorosilane (8.7 g) and imidazole (3.9 g) were added to a solution of 3-(4-bromophenoxy)propan-1-ol in N,N-dimethylformamide (193 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 40 minutes. The reaction solution was ice-cooled and water and a saturated ammonium chloride solution were added, followed by extraction with a mixture of hexane-ethyl acetate (1:1). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:1). Pyrrolidine (4.82 mL) and triethylamine (8.86 mL) were added to a solution of the resulting crude product in tetrahydrofuran (145 mL) under ice-cooling, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 27 hours. The reaction solution was ice-cooled and a saturated ammonium chloride solution was added, followed by extraction with a mixture of hexane-chloroform (1:1). The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate and filtered. The solvent was then evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane:ethyl acetate=100:1→80:1) to give the title compound (7.88 g, 79% (two steps)).
