Hydrochloric acid as an efficient catalyst for intermolecular condensation of alcohols. A simple and highly efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers from benzylic alcohols and alkanols
摘要:
Benzylic alcohols and diarylmethanols with electron-donating substituents in the aromatic ring reacted with aliphatic alcohols in the presence of a catalytic amount of HCl to give the corresponding alkyl arylmethyl ethers. The reactivity of diarylmethanols in the intermolecular dehydration depended on the nature of substituents in the aromatic rings and structure of aliphatic alcohol.

Compared with tetrahydrofuran (THF) as a solvent for the addition reactions between Grignard reagents and carbonyl compounds 2-methyltetrahydrofuran affords the corresponding adducts in higher yields with higher chemoselectivities. Moreover, 2-methyltetrahydrofuran can be readily recycled and reused, which lowers the cost of the process and makes the reaction greener.
