Aldol condensation between phenylacetates and benzaldehydes affords 2,3-diaryl-3-hydroxypropanoates which serve as common precursors to both the first racemic trans-pterocarpan and enantiopure cis- and trans-6a-hydroxypterocarpans.
A convenient method for the berizylation of chelated phenolic groups :Use of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide as a catalyst

Benzylation of chelated phenolic groups in different classes of polyphenolics 1-5 has been carried out, in quantitative yields efficiently by making use of tetra-n-butylammonium iodide as a catalyst in the presence of benzyl chloride-acetone-potassium carbonate. The procedure for working up the reaction mixture has also been improved by avoiding the step involving steam distillation required for removal of benzyl chloride after the reaction is over.
