Catalysts capable of heterolytic silane activation have been successfully applied to the conversion of alkyl ethers to silyl ethers via C-O bond cleavage. The previously-reported cationic pincer-supported iridium complex for this transformation suffers fr

A microwave-irradiated alcohol-protecting strategy based on gold catalysis utilizing benzyl alcohol, tert-butyl alcohol and triphenylmethanol as alkylating reagents has been developed. This protecting strategy has wide functional group tolerance with satisfactory yields for the majority of the selected alcohols. The mechanism of this transformation was probed with oxygen-18 isotope labelled alcohols assisted by GC-MS techniques and chemical kinetic experiments. This strategy provides an efficient, straightforward and alternative approach to the preparation of benzyl, tert-butyl and trityl ethers in organic synthesis.
Chlorination of aliphatic primary alcohols via triphosgene-triethylamine activation
Ayala, Caitlan E.,Villalpando, Andres,Nguyen, Alex L.,McCandless, Gregory T.,Kartika, Rendy

Activation of primary aliphatic alcohols with triphosgene and triethylamine mixtures afforded either alkyl chloride or diethylcarbamate products, and the switch in selectivity appeared to be driven by sterics. The reaction conditions to achieve this highly useful transformation were unexceptionally mild and readily tolerated by a wide range of sensitive functionalities.
