A solution of 10.0 ml (11.31 g, 83.1 mmol) of 2′-hydroxyacetophenone and 50 ml of tetrahydrofuran was placed in an ice bath and treated with 120.0 ml (168.0 mmol) of 1.4 M methyllithium in tetrahydrofuran, which was added dropwise over 30 minutes. The reaction mixture first became cloudy and then cleared up. After stirring for 18 hours, the solution was acidified with 4% aqueous hydrochloric acid. The layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with 30 ml of brine, dried over sodium sulfate, and concentrated. A total of 12.05 g of 2-(dimethylhydroxymethyl)phenol was isolated.
