We report that a Lewis acidic silane, Me2SiHCl, can mediate the direct cross-coupling of a wide range of carbonyl compounds with alcohols to form dialkyl ethers. The reaction is operationally simple, tolerates a range of polar functional groups, can be utilized to make stericallyhindered ethers, and is extendable to sulfur and nitrogen nucleophiles.
