Participants

Reaction Steps

1 g of 2,2-dimethyl-3-methoxy-1-propanol was dissolved in 20 ml of dichloromethane. The resultant solution was cooled in ice-water bath to below 5° C., and 1.65 ml of triethyl amine was added thereto. After stirring the mixture for 5 minutes, 1.29 ml of trimethylsilyl chloride was added drop-wise to the reaction mixture, and the mixture was stirred in ice-water bath for further 2 hours, and at room temperature for further 1 hour. The reaction mixture was washed with water, and the organic layer separated was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. After filtration, the filtrate was concentrated to give 1.33 g of concentrate. The crude product was purified by column chromatography using petroleum ether as eluent, to give colorless pure compound.
