Adapted from the method of Provelenghi, 19 sodium hydride (7 mg, 0.16 mmol) was<br />

added slowly <strong>to</strong> a solution of benzyl bromide (40 µl, 0.29 mmol), diol 213 (30 mg,<br />

0.07 mmol) and tetrabutylammonium iodide (1 mg, 0.003 mmol) in DMF (0.8 cm 3 )<br />

whilst the reaction mixture was maintained at ambient temperature. When the reaction<br />

was judged complete (c. 16 hr) aqueous ammonium chloride (sat. 0.1 cm 3 ) was added<br />

<strong>to</strong> the reaction, the solvent removed under vacuum and the resulting residue partitioned<br />

between water (2 cm 3 ) and CH 2 Cl 2 (6 cm 3 ). <strong>The</strong> aqueous phase was washed with<br />

further CH 2 Cl 2 (2 x 5 cm 3 ) and the combined organic phases dried over sodium<br />

sulphate, before purification by flash chroma<strong>to</strong>graphy (19:1 <strong>to</strong> 3:1 petrol:EtOAc)<br />

yielded alcohol 291 (24 mg, 68%) and dibenzyl ether 292 (4 mg, 10%) as colourless<br />

oils.<br />
