The synthesis of ethers from alcohols and aldehydes or ketones via the corresponding hemiketals is reported using Pd/C as catalyst, under hydrogen. Good isolated yield (> 80%) are obtained.

The Co2(CO)8-catalyzed reaction of acetals with hydrosilanes and CO under mild reaction conditions (an ambient temperature under an ambient CO pressure), leading to the production of vicinal diols is reported. A siloxymethyl group can be introduced via the cleavage of one of two alkoxy groups in the acetal. The effects of the types of hydrosilanes, acetals, solvents, and reaction temperatures on the yield of siloxymethylation products were examined in detail. The reactivity for hydrosilanes is as follows; HSiMe3 > HSiEtMe2 > HSiEt2Me > HSiEt3. Hemiacetal esters are more reactive than dimethyl acetals. The polarity of the solvent used also has a significant effect on both the course of the reaction as well as the reaction rate. The site-selective siloxymethylation can be achieved in the case of cyclic acetals such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and tetrahydropyrane (THP) derivatives, depending on the nature of the oxygen substituent attached adjacent to the oxygen atom in the ring. When 2-alkoxy THF or THP derivatives are used as substrates, the siloxymethylation takes place with cleavage of the ring C-O bond. In contrast, the reaction of 2-acetoxy THF or THP derivatives results in siloxymethylation with the cleavage of C-OAc bond. The ring-opening siloxymethylation of lactones was also examined.
Auto-Tandem Catalysis with Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Reductive Etherification of Aldehydes and Ketones

Herein we report that a single frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyst can promote the reductive etherification of aldehydes and ketones. The reaction does not require an exogenous acid catalyst, but the combined action of FLP on H2, R-OH or H2O generates the required Br?nsted acid in a reversible, “turn on” manner. The method is not only a complementary metal-free reductive etherification, but also a niche procedure for ethers that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even intractable to access by alternative synthetic protocols.
