Procedure

To a solution of benzyldimethylsilylmethyl magnesium chloride, prepared from benzylchloromethyldimethyl silane (Fessenden, R. J., Coon, M. D., J. Med. Chem. Vol. 9 pp. 262-263 (1966)) (1.5 g, 7.55 mmol) and magnesium (0.19 g, 7.9 mmol) in diethyl ether (15 ml), is added paraformaldehyde (0.228 g, 7.6 mmol). Then the mixture is refluxed for 18 hours, cooled to 0° C. and hydrolyzed with 1N HCl (25 ml). The organic layer is washed with water brine and dried over MgSO4. The solution is filtered and solvent removed inuacuo. Chromatography (silica gel, hexane/diethyl ether 70/30) afforded β-(benzyldimethylsilyl)ethanol as an oil (0.84 g, 57% yield).
