Triethylamine → (3-Bromophenoxy)(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a solution of 3-bromophenol (50 g, 289 mmol) in 340 mL DMF was added Et3N (35 g, 347 mmol) and tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (52 g, 347 mmol). The mixture was stirred for 0.5 h, and then diluted with ET2O (2 L). The organic phase was washed with 5% aqueous HCl and brine, and dried over MgSO4. Flash chromatography using hexane:EtOAc (95:5) gave 80.1 g (96%) of product.
