To a stirred, ice-cold solution of 7.22 g. of 4-chloromethyl-4-hydroxy-1-octyne and 7.16 g. of imidazole in 28 ml. of dimethylformamide is added 6.5 ml. of trimethylchlorosilane via a syringe during 15 minutes. The resulting mixture is stirred at room temperature overnight, diluted with hexane and poured into a mixture of ice and saturated sodium bicarbonate solution. The hexane solution is separated, washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate, water and brine, dried over ahydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give 11.8 g. of a colorless liquid which is vacuum distilled at b.p. 50°-57° C./3.5-4 mm. to give 9.7 g. of product as a colorless liquid; PMR δ 3.58 (s), 2.50 (d), 1.99 (t), 0.87 (s,OTMS).
