Bimolecular nucleophilic substitution (S N 2) is one of the most well-known fundamental reactions in organic chemistry to generate new molecules from two molecules. In principle, a nucleophile attacks from the back side of an alkylating agent having a suitable leaving group, most commonly a halide. However, alkyl halides are expensive, very harmful, toxic and not so stable, which makes them problematic for laboratory use. In contrast, trialkyl phosphates are inexpensive, readily accessible and stable at room temperature, under air, and are easy to handle, but rarely used as alkylating agents in organic synthesis. Here, we describe a mild, straightforward and powerful method for nucleophilic alkylation of various N -, O -, C - and S -nucleophiles using readily available trialkyl phosphates. The reaction proceeds smoothly in excellent yield, and quantitative yield in many cases, and covers a wide range of substrates. Further, the rare stereoselective transfer of secondary alkyl groups has been achieved with inversion of configuration of chiral centers (up to 98% ee).

Although transfer of electrophilic alkoxyl ("RO+") from organic peroxides to organometallics offers a complement to traditional methods for etherification, application has been limited by constraints associated with peroxide reactivity and stability. We now demonstrate that readily prepared tetrahydropyranyl monoperoxyacetals react with sp3 and sp2 organolithium and organomagnesium reagents to furnish moderate to high yields of ethers. The method is successfully applied to the synthesis of alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, heteroaryl, and cyclopropyl ethers, mixed O,O-acetals, and S,S,O-orthoesters. In contrast to reactions of dialkyl and alkyl/silyl peroxides, the displacements of monoperoxyacetals provide no evidence for alkoxy radical intermediates. At the same time, the high yields observed for transfer of primary, secondary, or tertiary alkoxides, the latter involving attack on neopentyl oxygen, are inconsistent with an SN2 mechanism. Theoretical studies suggest a mechanism involving Lewis acid promoted insertion of organometallics into the O-O bond.

1-O-alkyl glycerol and diglycerol ethers are obtained in high yields and high selectivity by catalytic reductive alkylation of glycerol and diglycerol with linear aldehydes in the presence of 0.5 mol% of Pd/C under 10 bars of hydrogen using a Bronsted aci

Facile reductive etherification of carbonyl compounds can be conveniently performed by reaction with triethylsilane and alkoxytrimethylsilane catalyzed by iron(III) chloride. The corresponding alkyl ethers, including benzyl and allyl ethers, of the reduced alcohols were obtained in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions.

The TMSI-catalyzed reaction of aldehydes and ketones with alkoxydimethylsilanes gave unsymmetrical ethers in good to high yields. This reductive etherification is superior to the conventional method using two kinds of silicon reagents in terms of atom eff
Reduction of acetals with samarium diiodide in acetonitrile in the presence of Lewis acids
Kunishima,Nakata,Sakuma,Kono,Sato,Tani
, p. 97 - 100 (2007/10/03)
Transformation of acetals into ethers by partial reduction using a samarium diiodide-Lewis acids-acetonitrile system is described. The reaction with aromatic acetals occurred in good yields in the presence of aluminum chloride (2 eq) whereas the corresponding aliphatic, vinylic, and alkynyl derivatives did not afford ethers under the same conditions, β-Elimination to give an enol ether becomes predominant when aliphatic acetals that possess a hydrogen at the 2-position are treated with iodotrimethylsilane in the presence of SmI2 or SmI3.
Three-electron S(N)2 reactions of arylcyclopropane cation radicals. 2. Steric and electronic effects of substitution
Dinnocenzo,Zuilhof,Lieberman,Simpson,McKechney
, p. 994 - 1004 (2007/10/03)
The nucleophilic substitution reactions on substituted arylcyclopropane cation radicals were studied by a combination of methods including product studies, time-resolved laser flash photolysis, kinetic isotope effects, and quantum chemical calculations. The reactions were found to proceed stereospecifically with inversion of configuration, with high regioselectivity for nucleophilic attack at the more substituted carbon atom, and with very small steric effects. Electronic effects on the nucleophilic substitution regiochemistry and the rate constants were found to be substantial for substituents on the cyclopropane moiety and on the aryl ring.
