Procedure

The procedure of Example 1 was followed using benzyl benzoate (9.6 mL, 50 mmol), potassium trimethylsilanolate (6.42 g, 50 mmol), dry ether (150 mL), and a 2 h reaction mixture. Potassium benzoate (5.9 g, 73% yield) was isolated as a white solid: 1H NMR (D2O) δ 7.1-8.0 ppm (m, Ar--H's, 5H). Anal. Calcd. for C7H5KO2 : C, 52.48; H, 3.15; K, 24.61. Found: C, 50.53, 50.76; H, 3.40, 3.21; K, 25.60, 25.50.
