Reagent for protection of OH groups as their methoxymethyl (MOM) ethers. The group can be introduced in the presence of a base such as N-ethyldiisopropylamine: Tetrahedron Lett., 26, 6461 (1986); 30, 1971 (1989). Aryl acetates are converted directly into aryl methoxymethyl ethers in the presence of NaOMe in DMF: Synth. Commun., 29, 2217 (1999). A method for the ɑ-methylenation of lactones involves alkylation of the ɑ-lithio derivative, followed by elimination of methanol: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 102, 3964 (1980).
