A microwave-irradiated alcohol-protecting strategy based on gold catalysis utilizing benzyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol and triphenylmethanol as alkylating reagents has been developed. This protecting strategy has wide functional group tolerance with satisfactory yields for the majority of the selected alcohols. The mechanism of this transformation was probed with oxygen-18 isotope labelled alcohols assisted by GC-MS techniques and chemical kinetic experiments. This strategy provides an efficient, straightforward and alternative approach to the preparation of benzyl, tert-butyl and trityl ethers in organic synthesis.

A tritylation protocol based on the transfer of the triphenylmethylcarbenium ion from trityl acetate to substrates having hydroxyls, in the presence of catalytic amounts of ZnCl2, is described. The advantages of this method are broad scope, mild conditions, and easy handling. The comparison with the procedure based on the use of equimolar mixture of TrCl and ZnCl2 in the presence of TEA shows that comparable results are obtained. However, only this method allows reactions of secondary or benzylic alcohols such as oxidation or formation of symmetric ethers to be suppressed. Both procedures are successfully extended to simple and substituted amides. Irrespective of its low solubility in acetonitrile, even asparagine can be directly tritylated on its amide group.

An efficient and selective method is described for the catalytic conversion of allylic, and tertiary benzylic alcohols into their corresponding ethers in the presence of Ce(IV) under solvolytic and non- solvolytic conditions.
