Secondary benzylic alcohols are coupled in the presence of zirconium tetrachloride to afford the corresponding symmetrical ethers in good yields. Unsymmetric ethers are obtained with good selectivity by condensation of two different secondary benzylic alcohols under the action of the same catalyst.
