Abstract
Several alcohols possessing alkali-labile substituents such as halogen, ester and ketone were effectively benzylated with benzyl mesylate by using a catalytic amount of lithium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate [LiB (C 6 F 5) 4] in the coexistence of lithium triflate (LiOTf) and magnesium oxide (MgO) to afford the corresponding benzyl ethers in good to excellent yields.
