Highly efficient Fe(HSO4)3 catalyzed etherification of primary, secondary and tertiary benzylicalcohols with primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols is reported. The reaction affords unsymmetrical benzyl ethers in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions.

generated in situ from chlorodiphenylphosphine (2) and alcohols, 2,6-dimethyl-1,4-benzoquinone (3), and phenols proceeds smoothly to afford alkyl-aryl ethers in good to high yields under neutral conditions. In a similar fashion, a new and efficient method for the preparation of symmetrical or unsymmetrical dialkyl ethers in good to high yields is established via tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (fluoranil) (4)

A new type of oxidation–reduction condensation by using tetrafluoro-1,4-benzoquinone (fluoranil), alcohols and alkoxydiphenylphosphines, in situ formed from nBuLi-treated alcohols and chlorodiphenylphosphine, proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding symmetrical or unsymmetrical ethers in good to high yields.
Kinetic analysis was used as a tool for rational optimization of a catalytic, direct substitution of alcohols to enable the selective formation of unsymmetrical ethers, thioethers, and Friedel–Crafts alkylation products using a moisture-tolerant and commercially available zirconium complex (2 to 8 mol%). Operating in air and in the absence of dehydration techniques, the protocol furnished a variety
