Reaction Steps

The 2-(vinyltrityl)phenol (1.0 equiv.) is dissolved in CH2Cl2/50% KOH/H2O. Benzyltriethyl ammonium bromide is added as a phase transfer agent (0.1 equiv.). To this two phase mixture is added bromomethylmethylether (MOMBr). The reaction is allowed to stir for 30 minutes. The organic phase is separated, washed with water and brine before being dried with MgSO4. Solvent is removed to yield the MOM-protected 2-triphenylmethylphenol in near quantitative yield.
