Resumo

Abstract A new “one pot” synthesis of the important intermediate, (Me3Si)2CHCl, is described. The method involves the reaction of CH2Cl2, Me3SiCl2, and n-BuLi in a mixed solvent system. The overall yield of (Me3Si)2CHCl based upon the CH2Cl2 consumed is 78%. Apart from the obvious advantage of being a single step procedure, the method also has the advantage of utilizing relatively inexpensive starting materials. Moreover, the method can be scaled up without significant diminution of the yield.
