An efficient method for the transformation of benzyl alcohols into their methyl or ethyl ethers has been established using 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine (TCT) and dimethyl sulfoxide in methanol or ethanol. This procedure chemoselectively converts benzylic hydroxys into their methyl or ethyl ethers in the presence of aliphatic or phenolic hydroxys.
