Workup

1. 1
   OtherAfter standard workup with dichloromethane, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (1.5% methanol in dichloromethane)

Procedure

Compound 3a (45 mg, 0.14 mmol) and TBDMSCl (33 mg, 0.22 mmol) were dissolved in dichloromethane (10 ml) followed by imidazole (20 mg, 0.29 mmol). The solution was stirred at room temperature for 2 hours. After standard workup with dichloromethane, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (1.5% methanol in dichloromethane) to afford 7a (56 mg, 91%): 1H NMR δ 7.40 (m, 4H), 6.90 (m, 4H), 6.75 (d, 2H, J=7.9 Hz), 4.15 (t, 2H), 3.88 (t, 2H), 3.82 (t, 2H), 3.66 (t, 2H), 2.85 (s, 3H), 0.92 (s, 9H), 0.09 (s, 6H).
