Zhang, Lingjuan published the artcileIron-catalyzed cross etherification of alcohols to form unsymmetrical benzyl ethers, HPLC of Formula: 6214-45-5, the main research area is iron catalyst cross etherification alc; unsym benzyl ether preparation mechanism.
A Fe(II)-catalyzed direct synthesis of unsym. benzyl ethers, e.g. I, from two different alcs. has been developed. In the presence of a catalyst in situ generated by combining Fe(OTf)2 (OTf = trifluomethanesulfonate) with a pyridine bis-imidazoline ligand, benzyl alcs. underwent cross dehydrative etherification with a wide range of aliphatic alcs. in good to excellent yields under mild, operationally simple conditions with low catalyst loading. The catalyst tolerates a number of functional groups in both coupling partners, and is highly chemoselective, affording no sym. ether byproducts. Ligand is shown to play a crucial role to the success of this dehydrative transformation, and preliminary mechanistic studies indicate that a benzylic cation is involved in the cross etherification.
