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.

alpha-Alkyl-, alpha-arylalkyl-, and alpha-aryl-substituted benzyl alcohols were converted into the corresponding symmetrical dibenzyl ethers in the presence of a catalytic amount of 10% aqueous HCl both in methylene chloride and under solvent-free conditions. Analogous reactions in dioxane and on heating afforded mainly the corresponding arylalkenes, whereas symmetrical dibenzyl ethers were formed as minor products.
