Sorry, I completely forgot about the amine already present... I just 'adapted' the idea for adding a methyl group to the oxygen of a hydroxy benzene/benzaldehyde.
I suggested LAH because it was the first thing that came into my head; at the time I was thinking about aromatic halides, which LAH does cleave.
I promise I will not respond to posts again when I am so tired... 10:17 am, I'd just got up, after an 'interesting' night.
Sorry f0Ul_, I know it's annoying when people make posts like the above (mine I mean!). There will be ways to do this, just not the ones I suggested
