Dimethylformamide → HCID 58452906, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a dry 100 mL round bottom flask under nitrogen was added 3-(4-bromophenoxy)propan-1-ol (9.0 g, 39.0 mmol), tert-butyldimethylsilyl chloride (7.0 g, 47.0 mmol), imidizole (3.2 g, 47.0 mmol), and 20 mL of N,N-dimethylformamide. The reaction was allowed to stir at room temperature while being monitored by thin layer chromatography. Upon disappearance of the starting material the reaction mixture was poured into a separatory funnel containing 50 mL of cold water. The product was extracted using 3×25 mL ether. The organic layers were combined and washed with 3×25 mL cold water and 3×25 mL saturated sodium chloride solution. The resulting organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered from drying agent, and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. The material was purified by filtering through a plug of silica gel eluting with 4:6 dichloromethane:hexane. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure (12.1 g, 89.4%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.34 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 6.76 (d, J=9.0 Hz, 2H), 4.00 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 3.76 (t, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 1.95 (q, J=6.0 Hz, 2H), 0.87 (s, 9H), 0.03 (s, 6H).
