- Group 5 and group 6 metal halides as very efficient catalysts for acylative cleavage of ethers
-
Group 5 and 6 metal chlorides such as MoCl5, WCl6, NbCl5 and TaCl5 were found as very efficient catalysts for acylative cleavage of the C-O bond of ethers. Compared with conventional Lewis acid catalysts such as ZnCl2, AlCl3, SnCl4 and TiCl4, group 5 and 6 metal chlorides showed better results in the catalytic C-O bond cleavage of dibutyl ether with benzoyl chloride.

- Metal-assisted Reactions. Part 17. Ring-opening and Dimerization of Cyclic Ethers by Titanium Halides
-
Reaction of TiCl4 or TiBr4 with a variety of cyclic ethers gives, predominantly, products resulting from simple ring-opening or from ring-opening with simultaneous condensation to dimeric species.The variations in yields of these two kinds of products might be correlated qualitatively with an initial formation of the complex TiX4*2E (X = Cl or Br; E = cyclic ether) in which the ethers were held in a cis or trans relationship.Although such a correlation might suggest that TiCl4 but not TiBr4 exerts a template effect on the condensation, stereochemical considerations of the reaction products indicate otherwise.TiCl3 and VCl3 do not give similar results and TiF4 gives no reaction.
