, p. 179 - 181 (2005)
2-Phenylethanol was added to olefins catalyzed by ruthenium catalytic system Cp*RuCl2(PPh3)/2AgOTf in toluene. This reaction proceeded without β-hydride elimination, giving saturated ethers in good yields.

Under the conditions of oxidative gold catalysis, exposure of ethylene to aryl silanes and alcohols generates products of 1,2-oxyarylation. This provides a rare example of a process that allows catalytic differential 1,2-difunctionalization of this feedstock chemical.
Organohalide-catalyzed dehydrative O-alkylation between alcohols: A facile etherification method for aliphatic ether synthesis

Organohalides are found to be effective catalysts for dehydrative O-alkylation reactions between alcohols, providing selective, practical, green, and easily scalable homo- and cross-etherification methods for the preparation of useful symmetrical and unsymmetrical aliphatic ethers from the readily available alcohols. Mechanistic studies revealed that organohalides are regenerated as reactive intermediates and recycled to catalyze the reactions.
