Participants

Reaction Steps

tert-Butyl chlorodimethylsilane (1.33 g, 19.5 mmol) was added to a stirred solution of (E)-3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-prop-2-en-1-ol (3.20 g, 15.0 mmol), and imidazole (2.72 g, 18.0 mmol) in dry dichloromethane (75 ml) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 h, a colourless precipitate being formed. The mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml) and 1N hydrochloric acid (100 ml). The aqueous layer was separated, further extracted with dichloromethane (2×100ml) and the combined organic layers washed with brine, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (1% diethyl ether in n-heptane eluent) to give the colourless solid, (E)-[3-(4-bromo-phenyl)-allyloxy]-tert-butyldimethylsilane (4.39 g, 89%).
