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.
一种苯甲基化醇的方法包括将2-苄氧基-1-
甲基吡啶三氟甲磺酸盐与具有预定沸点的芳香族烃溶剂混合;向混合物中添加酸清除剂;将待苯甲基化的醇与混合物结合;通过加热至高于环境温度使醇与2-苄氧基-1-
甲基吡啶三氟甲磺酸盐反应,以生成苯甲基化醇;并从混合物中分离出苯甲基化醇。
