Direct and efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers from alcohols catalyzed by Fe(HSO4)3 under solvent-free conditions

Highly efficient Fe(HSO4)3 catalyzed etherification of primary, secondary and tertiary benzylic alcohols with primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols is reported. The reaction affords unsymmetrical benzyl ethers in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions.

Gold(I)-catalyzed synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers using alcohols as alkylating reagents

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.
