A process for benzylating an alcohol includes mixing 2-benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent having a predetermined boiling point; adding an acid scavenger to the mixture; combining the alcohol to be benzylated with the mixture; reacting the alcohol with the 2-benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium triflate by heating above ambient temperature to generate the benzylated alcohol; and separating the benzylated alcohol from the mixture.
ON THE METALATION OF PHENOLIC COMPOUNDS: READY ACCESS TO HIGHLY SUBSTITUTED PHENOLS.

The direct metalation of several p-hydroxybenzylmethyl ethers has been studied.Those substrates possesing an electron-withdrawing group in a 1,3 relationship with the coordinating (-CH2OMe) group underwent regioselective metalation by the action of n-BuLi/THF.Highly substituted phenols can thus be readily prepared.
