45. 1H NMR tecniques showed complete decomposition of methoxylated halobenzyl chlorides 8c,d in the presence of NaH at temperatures above -10°C. Attempts to carry out the alkylation reaction at lower temperatures afforded enamines 15c,d with moderate yields (40-55%). Although no decomposition product was isolated, the autoalkylation of benzyl chlorides under basic conditions has been reported. See: Hauser; C. R.; Brasen, W. R.; Skell, P. S.; Kantor, S.
