Synthesis of Benzyl Alkyl Ethers by Intermolecular Dehydration of Benzyl Alcohol with Aliphatic Alcohols under the Effect of Copper Containing Catalysts

Synthesis of benzyl alkyl ethers was performed in high yields by intermolecular dehydration of benzyl and primary, secondary, tertiary alcohols under the effect of copper containing catalysts. The formation of benzyl alkyl ethers occurs with participation of benzyl cation.

Organohalide-catalyzed dehydrative O-alkylation between alcohols: A facile etherification method for aliphatic ether synthesis

Organohalides are found to be effective catalysts for dehydrative O-alkylation reactions between alcohols, providing selective, practical, green, and easily scalable homo- and cross-etherification methods for the preparation of useful symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic ethers from the readily available alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that organohalides are regenerated as reactive intermediates and recycled to catalyze the reactions.

A novel method for synthesis of benzyl alkyl ethers using Vanadium-based metal complex catalysts

A novel method has been developed for the synthesis of benzyl alkyl ethers in 25-85% yields via the reaction of toluene with alcohols in a CCl4 medium catalyzed by Et3N-activated VO(acac)2.
