Surface-mediated solid phase reaction. Part 7. A simple and convenient procedure for the methoxymethylation of alcohols with methoxymethyl chloride on the surface of alumina

A variety of alcohols react with methoxymethyl chloride on the surface of alumina without any solvent to afford the corresponding methoxymethyl ethers in good yields.

Comparison of the efficiency of two dicationic ionic liquids catalysts based on perchloric acid for the protection of alcohols

In this article, two aliphatic and aromatic types of dicationic acidic ionic liquids formulated as [H2-DABCO][ClO4], [H2-Bisim][ClO4]2 were used for the acceleration of the protection of alcohols as t

P4VPy–CuO nanoparticles as a novel and reusable catalyst: application at the protection of alcohols, phenols and amines

P4VPy–CuO nanoparticles were synthesized using ultrasound irradiations. Relevant properties of the synthesized nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. After identification, the prepared reagent was used for the promotion of different types of protection reactions of alcohols, phenols and amines. Easy workup, short reaction times, excellent yields, relatively low cost and reusability of the catalyst are the striking features of the reported methods.
