Procedure

To dimethyl-amino(methyl)aluminum chloride [prepared from dimethylamine hydrochloride (3.4 g, 42 mmoL) and trimethyl aluminum (21 mL of 2 M solution, 42 mmol)] in toluene (40 mL) was added methyl benzylglycolate (3.0 g, 17 mmol). After stirring at rt for 1.5 h, the mixture was poured into 3 N HCl and extracted with Et2O. The organic extract was washed with saturated aqueous NaCl, dried (MgSO4) and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash chromatography, eluting with a solvent gradient of 9-50% EtOAc/Hex. The title compound was obtained as a colorless oil (1.2 g, 37%): 1H NMR (CDCl3): d 7.4-7.1 (m, 5H); 4.61 (s, 2H); 4.18 (s, 2H); 2.98 (s, 3H); 2.95 (s, 3H).
