A novel platinum nanoparticle catalyst closely located near the surface of titanium oxide, PtNP/TiO2, has been prepared. This catalyst has both the properties of a photocatalyst and a metal nanoparticle catalyst, and acquired environmentally friendly catalytic activity, which cannot be achieved by just one of these catalysts, to afford ethers from benzyl alcohols under the wavelength of 420 nm.
A General Catalytic Method for Highly Cost- and Atom-Efficient Nucleophilic Substitutions

A general formamide-catalyzed protocol for the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides, which is promoted by substoichiometric amounts (down to 34 mol %) of inexpensive trichlorotriazine (TCT), is introduced. This is the first example of a TCT-mediated dihydroxychlorination of an OH-containing substrate (e.g., alcohols and carboxylic acids) in which all three chlorine atoms of TCT are transferred to the starting material. The consequently enhanced atom economy facilitates a significantly improved waste balance (E-factors down to 4), cost efficiency, and scalability (>50 g). Furthermore, the current procedure is distinguished by high levels of functional-group compatibility and stereoselectivity, as only weakly acidic cyanuric acid is released as exclusive byproduct. Finally, a one-pot protocol for the preparation of amines, azides, ethers, and sulfides enabled the synthesis of the drug rivastigmine with twofold SN2 inversion, which demonstrates the high practical value of the presented method.
Synthesis of ethers from carbonyl compounds by reductive etherification catalyzed by iron(III) and silyl chloride

A simple iron- and silyl chloride catalyzed method for the preparation of symmetrical and nonsymmetrical ethers is presented. Various aldehydes and ketones were reductively etherified by using triethylsilane as a reducing agent in the presence of 2 mol% of iron(III) oxo acetate and 8 mol% of chloro(trimethyl)silane. The reactions can be carried out at ambient temperatures and pressures with ethyl acetate as the solvent.
