, p. 4235 - 4236 (1995)
The synthesis of ethers from alcohols and aldehydes or ketones via the corresponding hemiketals is reported using Pd/C as catalyst, under hydrogen. Good isolated yield (> 80%) are obtained.

The Co2(CO)8-catalyzed reaction of acetals with hydrosilanes and CO under mild reaction conditions (an ambient temperature under an ambient CO pressure), leading to the production of vicinal diols is reported. A siloxymethyl group can be introduced via the cleavage of one of two alkoxy groups in the acetal. The effects of the types of hydrosilanes, acetals, solvents, and reaction temperatures on the yield of siloxymethylation products were examined in detail. The reactivity for hydrosilanes is as follows; HSiMe3 > HSiEtMe2 > HSiEt2Me > HSiEt3. Hemiacetal esters are more reactive than dimethyl acetals. The polarity of the solvent used also has a significant effect on both the course of the reaction as well as the reaction rate. The site-selective siloxymethylation can be achieved in the case of cyclic acetals such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and tetrahydropyrane (THP) derivatives, depending on the nature of the oxygen substituent attached adjacent to the oxygen atom in the ring. When 2-alkoxy THF or THP derivatives are used as substrates, the siloxymethylation takes place with cleavage of the ring C-O bond. In contrast, the reaction of 2-acetoxy THF or THP derivatives results in siloxymethylation with the cleavage of C-OAc bond. The ring-opening siloxymethylation of lactones was also examined.

A general protocol for the selective hydrogenation and deuteration of a variety of alkenes is presented. Key to success for these reactions is the use of a specific nickel-graphitic shell-based core–shell-structured catalyst, which is conveniently prepared by impregnation and subsequent calcination of nickel nitrate on carbon at 450 °C under argon. Applying this nanostructured catalyst, both terminal and internal alkenes, which are of industrial and commercial importance, were selectively hydrogenated and deuterated at ambient conditions (room temperature, using 1 bar hydrogen or 1 bar deuterium), giving access to the corresponding alkanes and deuterium-labeled alkanes in good to excellent yields. The synthetic utility and practicability of this Ni-based hydrogenation protocol is demonstrated by gram-scale reactions as well as efficient catalyst recycling experiments.
Methylation of Polyols with Trimethylphosphate in the Presence of a Lewis or Br?nsted Acid Catalyst
Duclos, Marie-Christine,Herbinski, Aurélien,Mora, Anne-Sophie,Métay, Estelle,Lemaire, Marc
, p. 547 - 551 (2018/01/16)
The alkylation of alcohols and polyols has been investigated with alkylphosphates in the presence of a Lewis or Br?nsted acid catalyst. The permethylation of polyols was developed under solvent-free conditions at 100 °C with either iron triflate or Aquivion PW98, affording the isolated products in yields between 52 and 95 %. The methodology was also adjusted to carry out peralkylation with longer alkyl chains.
Auto-Tandem Catalysis with Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Reductive Etherification of Aldehydes and Ketones
Bakos, Mária,Gy?m?re, ádám,Domján, Attila,Soós, Tibor
supporting information, p. 5217 - 5221 (2017/04/27)
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.
Dimethyl sulfite a potential agent for methylation
Mouselmani, Rim,Da Silva, Eric,Lemaire, Marc
, p. 8905 - 8910 (2015/11/02)
The synthesis of methylated ether compounds is an important challenge. A pathway for the synthesis of methyl ethers was investigated using dimethyl sulfite (DMSi). Methylation of 1-octanol was carried out in liquid phase upon different heterogeneous organic and inorganic catalysts at 130°C. Aluminium oxide gave the best result with high conversion and moderate selectivity for methyl 1-octyl ether. Reactions in gas phase at higher temperatures (200°C) were also performed. Methyl 1-octyl ether was obtained in a very high level of selectivity up to 98%. Primary and secondary ethers from unsymmetrical alkyl methyl sulfite were also performed by SO2 extrusion.
P-cymenesulphonyl chloride: A bio-based activating group and protecting group for greener organic synthesis
Farmer, Thomas J.,Clark, James H.,Gothe, Maite L.,Macquarrie, Duncan J.,Sherwood, James
, p. 1914 - 1919 (2015/09/22)
A bio-derived protecting/activating group has been synthesized by introducing a sulphonyl chloride group to the aromatic ring of p-cymene derived from citrus peel waste. The resulting p-cymenesulphonyl chloride was evaluated as an activating group by reacting with 1-octanol, 2-octanol, phenol and piperidine, and further reactions of the activated alcohols. The comparison to tosyl chloride demonstrates that the bio-based alternative can be effectively utilized as a direct replacement for the current fossil derived equivalent.
One-step chemoselective conversion of tetrahydropyranyl ethers to silyl-protected alcohols
Bergueiro, Julian,Montenegro, Javier,Saa, Carlos,Lopez, Susana
, p. 14475 - 14479 (2014/04/17)
Aluminium trichloride catalyses the expeditious direct conversion of tetrahydropyranyl ethers to silyl ethers. This one-step transformation is chemoselective versus deprotection of the acetal and hydrosilylation of unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds, and can also be applied to linear acetals. A possible mechanism is tentatively proposed. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.
Synthesis of alkyl methyl ethers and alkyl methyl carbonates by reaction of alcohols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of tungsten and cobalt complexes
Khusnutdinov,Shchadneva,Mayakova
, p. 790 - 795 (2014/08/18)
Alkyl methyl ethers and alkyl methyl carbonates were synthesized by reaction of alcohols with dimethyl carbonate in the presence of tungsten and cobalt carbonyls. Optimal reactant and catalyst ratios, as well as reaction conditions, were found for selective formation of alkyl methyl ethers or alkyl methyl carbonates.
Highly atom-efficient and chemoselective reduction of ketones in the presence of aldehydes using heterogeneous catalysts
Takahashi, Yusuke,Mitsudome, Takato,Mizugaki, Tomoo,Jitsukawa, Koichiro,Kaneda, Kiyotomi
, p. 2695 - 2698 (2013/10/08)
The first demonstration of a 100% atom-efficient selective reduction of less reactive ketones over aldehydes using heterogeneous catalysts is reported. Extremely high selectivities for intra- and intermolecular reductions of ketones over aldehydes were achieved. This system was also applicable to a column reactor, leading to a gram-scale synthesis.
