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.

Technology for preparing vanillyl alcohol ether by using one step method

The invention relates to a technology for preparing vanillyl alcohol ether by using a one step method. The technology combines co-catalysis of a nano ruthenium metal catalyst and an immobilized tin phosphotungstate catalyst, and vanillin is subjected to a reaction for 18-24 hours under hydrogen pressure of 1-2 MPa and an alcohols solvent in a reaction vessel at the temperature of 20-60 DEG C to obtain vanillyl alcohol ether by using the one step method. The technology can be carried out under mild condition, has the advantages of environmental protection and high product yield, and is suitable for industrial production.

A general method for the preparation of ethers using water-resistant solid lewis acids

(Chemical Equation Presented) This most ethereal of cascades: Water-resistant single isolated Lewis acids within the framework of molecular sieves act as excellent general catalysts for the synthesis of ethers (see scheme). On this basis, an environmentally friendly process has been developed for the preparation of fine chemicals that involves a one-pot Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction/etherification cascade.
