During the synthesis of the antiasthmatic drug montelukast (Singulair), a silyl ether protecting group is used to mask the reactivity of an OH group. The silyl group chosen is the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS) group. Draw the product of the following transforma- tion, assuming the TBS-Cl reagent reacts only once with the starting material. Briefly explain your answer. CH3 НО H3C-C-CH3 H3C-Si-CH3 CH3 H3C OH Cl, CI Imidazole (base) DMF/CH,Cl,

Which of the following is more nucleophilic and why? CH30 (CH3)3CO 1 2 Compound 2, because its nucleophilicity is increased by the adjacent CH3 groups. Compound 2 because it is a stronger base. Compound 1, because the nucleophilicity of compound 2 is decreased by steric effects. Compound 1, because it has a weaker conjugate acid. O They actually have about the same nucleophilicity since in both, the negative charge is localized on an oxygen atom.
