Procedure
A mixture of alcohol (d) (6.5 g, 24 mmol), silver(I) oxide (16.5 g, 72 mmol), methyl iodide (4.5 ml) and 3 A molecular sieves (10 g) in dichloromethane (100 ml) was stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The mixture was filtered and evaporated. The residue was chromatographed on silica eluting with 1:2 ethyl acetate:petrol affording an oil (5.47 g, 80%).
