2-Benzyloxy-1-methylpyridinium inflate (Bn-OPT) effects the benzylation of alcohols in the absence of acidic or basic promoters. Solutions of Bn-OPT and primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols give rise to the corresponding benzyl ethers upon mild heating. Acid scavengers are generally included in the reaction mixture. Bn-OPT is crystalline and bench-stable. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.
