present a mild way of converting secondary methylethers into ketones using calcium hypochlorite in aqueous acetonitrile with acetic acid as activator. The reaction is compatible with various oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups and afforded the corresponding ketones in up to 98% yield. The use of this methodology could expand the application of the methyl group as a useful protecting group.
Benzenetellurol is shown to behave as an effective reagent for the reductive conversion of carbonyl compounds into unsymmetrical ethers under the catalytic influence of ZnI2.
