Stirred it for 1.5 hr. Benzyl bromide (8.6 ml, 0.07246 mol), was added to the reaction mixture dropwise. Stirred the reaction mixture at room temperature for 4 hrs. The progress of reaction was cheked by TLC. Filtered the reaction mixture and concentrated the filtrate on rota-vapour. The crude product was recrystalised from petroleum ether to afford 4-benzyloxy-(2-phenethyl ethanol) of formula (7), 14.9 g (90%) mp 85–86° C.
