Abstract

Birch reductive alkylation of methyl m-(hydroxymethyl) benzoate derivatives, using lithium in ammonia–tetrahydrofuran in the presence of tert-butyl alcohol, can be achieved without significant loss of benzylic oxygen substituents. Similar treatment of o-and p-(hydroxymethyl) benzoate derivatives results largely in loss of benzylic oxygen substituents. The results are rationalized by computations describing electron density patterns in the putative radical ...
