Benzyl alcohols formed by the reduction of benzaldehydes, alkyl aryl ketones, and benzophenones with sodium tetrahydridoborate in alcohols undergo in situ etherification with the solvent in the presence of a catalytic amount of HCl. Thus the process may be regarded as one-pot transformation of carbonyl compounds into the corresponding benzyl ethers. The yields of ethers depend on the substituent nature in the aromatic fragment of the initial carbonyl compound and on the alcohol used as reduction medium.

experimental part, p. 5221 - 5224 (2009/12/06)
A direct etherification of aromatic ketones and aliphatic alcohols into the corresponding asymmetrical ethers by the use of a bifunctional heterogeneous copper catalyst is described. The reaction protocol reveals to be versatile and convenient respect to the traditional ether synthesis for both environmental and practical concerns.
