During many organic syntheses it is a common practice to introduce a silyl ether protecting group to mask the activity of an OH group In this example the silyl group chosen is the tert butyldimethylsilyl group Draw the product of the following transformation assuming that the tert butyldimethylsilyl Cl reagent reacts only once with the starting material M OH MO Use the we hash bond tools to indicate stereochemistry where it exists For your convenience the starting material has been drawn for you in the sketchpad OH CH3 H C C CH3 H3C SI CH3 CI Imidazole base DMF CH Cl2 Sn F K
