Molybdenum (VI)-catalyzed dehydrative construction of C[sbnd]O and C[sbnd]S bonds formation via etherification and thioetherification of alcohols and thiols

An inexpensive, easily available, environmentally benign, and efficient catalyst molybdenum(VI) dioxo (acetylacetonate)2 was used for the direct oxo- and thioetherification of alcohol. This method endures selective molybdenum catalyzed dehydrative synthesis of symmetrical ethers from benzylic secondary alcohols as well as unsymmetrical ethers from the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols with primary alcohol. Furthermore, we have been also successful in the synthesis of Aryl thioether by using alcohol and thiols.

W-Ti-O mixed metal oxide catalyzed dehydrative cross-etherification of alcohols

A dehydrative cross-etherification reaction of two different alcohols is achieved in the presence of hydrothermally synthesized tungsten-titanium mixed metal oxide (W-Ti-O) catalyst. The reaction is environmentally benign: organic solvent is not necessary and the catalyst is readily recovered and reusable.

CATALYTIC C-H BOND ACTIVATION FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF ETHERS AND THIOETHERS

Disclosed is a method for the transition metal-mediated oxidation of C-H bonds to form C-0 or C-S bonds. The methods are useful for the formation of ethers (R-OR') from alcohols, R'OH, and sp3 -hybridized C-H bonds in substrates, R-H. Aryl or heteroaryl acetates may also be used for C-H to C-OAr bond formation. The methods are also useful in the preparation of C-S bonds from acetyl-protected thiols, MeC(0)SR, and disulfides, RSSR. Advantageously, the methods minimize reaction steps, the handling of oxidized intermediates, and environmental impact.

A convenient catalytic method for the synthesis of ethers from alcohols and carbonyl compounds

Dialkyl ethers and alkyl fluoroalkyl ethers are obtained in excellent yields by the reaction of alcohols and carbonyl compounds in the presence of Pd/C under the atmospheric pressure of hydrogen, when water produced by the reaction is continuously removed by bubbling hydrogen through the reaction mixture.

BiBr3, an efficient catalyst for the benzylation of alcohols: 2-Phenyl- 2-propyl, a new benzyl-type protecting group

The benzylation of aliphatic alcohols with various benzylic alcohols has been achieved in the presence of BiBr3 under mild conditions. 2- Phenylpropan-2-ol proved to be the most efficient and can be considered as a novel protecting group. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.
