Abstract

2-Methyl-1-phenylpropan-1-ol and phenyltrimethylsilane were prepared in yields >85%, using naphthalene catalysed sodium reactions, whereby phenylsodium, prepared from the reaction of chlorobenzene, sodium powder and naphthalene (5%), was quenched with isobutyraldehyde or chlorotrimethylsilane respectively.
