, p. 604 - 605 (1998)
The preparation of cholesteryl ethers from alcohols and phenols with cholesterol is carried out at 50-70 °C by using montmorillonite K-10 as an acid catalyst in chloroform or cyclohexane.
Metal-Free I2-Catalyzed Highly Selective Dehydrogenative Coupling of Alcohols and Cyclohexenones

The I2 catalyzed highly selective oxidative condensation of cyclohexenones and alcohols for the synthesis of aryl alkyl ethers has been described. DMSO is employed as the mild terminal oxidant. This novel methodology offers a metal-free reaction condition, operational simplicity and broad substrate scope to afford valuable products from inexpensive reagents. Various meta-substituted aromatic ethers which are hardly synthesized from the reported methods requiring meta-substituted phenols, are efficiently prepared by the present protocol.
Catalytic aerobic synthesis of aromatic ethers from non-aromatic precursors

supporting information; experimental part, p. 7537 - 7540 (2012/09/10)
Only little waste: Aryl ether formation is accomplished by oxidative condensation of alcohols and 2-cyclohexenones. The reaction complements the existing methods used by synthetic chemists to obtain aryl ethers, and allows a straightforward access to a wide range of functionalized products. In addition, the catalytic reaction with O2 as the oxidant generates water as the only by-product and provides a greener approach to aryl ethers. Copyright
