Triethylamine → 6-[3-(Tert-butyl-dimethyl-silanyloxy)-propoxy]-nicotinonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of t-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (0.93 g, 6.17 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (25 mL) was added 6-(3-hydroxypropoxy)nicotinonitrile (Example 66, 1 g, 5.61 mmol), Et3N (0.62 g, 6.17 mmol), and DMAP (0.014 g, 0.11 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 18 h. The reaction mixture was diluted with brine and extracted with CH2Cl2 (3×25 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by silica gel flash chromatography (2:1 hexanes/EtOAc) to give the title compound (1.14 g, 69%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 8.40 (dd, 1H), 7.69 (dd, 1H), 6.72 (dd, 1H), 4.40 (t, 2H), 3.73 (t, 2H), 1.90-1.98 (m, 2H), 0.82 (s, 9H), 0.02 (s, 6H).
