Abstract:

Benzylating reagents, 4-(4,6-di-t-butyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl)-4-benzylmorpholinium triflate, and related derivatives have been developed. The reagents release benzyl triflate as a benzyl cation equivalent upon heating the solution to 40°C under neutral conditions. The O-benzylation of alcohols using a stoichiometric amount of these reagents afforded corresponding benzyl ethers in good to high yields. This was due to the presence of a bulky t-butyl group on the triazine ring of these reagents that prevents the consumption of benzyl triflate via a side reaction with a morpholinotriazine derivative.
