Abstract

Primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols, which are sensitive under basic or acidic reaction conditions, can be O-benzylated under mild acidic reaction conditions using benzyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate as the benzylation agent. Chiral substrates, which have a tendency towards racemization under basic reaction conditions, can be benzylated without any loss of chirality.
