Procedure: 1000
mL 1-neck flask, stirbar, septum, N2 inlet
Prepared
a suspension of 2.79 g of powdered NaH in 300 mL of dry THF. Stirred at rt. Added 9.10 mL of diol I.
Stirred for 2 h. Added
16.66 g of TBSCl. Let stir
overnight. Quenched with ice. Extracted with Et2O. The organic layer was dried over MgSO4,
filtered and the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The product was isolated by Kugelrohr
distillation (70 C, 1 mm).
The product was a clear, colorless oil.
1H NMR (CDCl3,
300 MHz) d 5.68 (m, H2, H3), 4.24 (d,
J = 4.9 Hz, H4), 4.18 (t, J = 5.6 Hz, H1), 1.99 (t, J = 5.9 Hz, OH), 0.89 (s, SiC(CH3)3),
0.07 (s, Si(CH3)2).
notes
This particular procedure gives
high yields of monosilylated diols using stoichiometric equivalents of
reagents. The reaction works best
for primary diols.
McDougal, et al. (see McDougal,
P.G.; Rico, J.G.; Oh, Y-I.; Condon, B.D.
J. Org. Chem. 1986, 51, 3388.) propose that a nonstatistical ratio of
products is obtained due to the low solubility of the monosodium salt in THF
coupled with a silylation step that is faster than proton transfer. However, the reaction has been shown to
work with soluble monolithium salts.
