Procedure

Mix magnesium turnings (240 mg, 10 mmol) and anhydrous ethyl ether under an inert atmosphere. Add a solution of chloromethyltrimethylsilane (1.9 g, 10 mmol) in anhydrous ethyl ether. Stir until the magnesium metal dissolves. Add a solution of 4-bromomethyl-2,6-diethylphenol (2.43g, 10mmol) in anhydrous ethyl ether and reflux the mixture until the reaction is complete. Pour onto a mixture of ice/hydrochloric acid and separate the layers. Wash the ethereal layer with water, dry (MgSO4) and evaporate to give the title compound which is purified by silica gel chromatography.
