Treatment of benzyl methyl ether with n-butyl-lithium–tetramethylenediamine in hexane gave benzylic-lithiation, without ortho-lithiation or a Wittig type rearrangement. The benzylic-lithiated benzyl methyl ether was then allowed to react with benzophenone, 4-methoxybenzophenone, butyl bromide, ethyl phenylacetate, and 4-chlorobenzophenone.
