Hi all

This a synthesis question.  I've done some computations and converted a 
methyl group into a t-butyl group with no problem.

My question is how can a methyl group be converted synthetically into a 
t-butyl group?  If anyone out there knows how, including reagents,
conditions etc. please let me know.

Thank you in advance,
Richard
