Reductive Etherification via Anion-Binding Catalysis
2017
Zhao, Chenfei | Sojdak, Christopher A. | Myint, Wazo | Seidel, Daniel
Reductive condensations of alcohols with aldehydes/ketones to generate ethers are catalyzed by a readily accessible thiourea organocatalyst that operates in combination with HCl. 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane serves as a convenient reducing reagent. This strategy is applicable to challenging substrate combinations and exhibits functional group tolerance. Competing reductive homocoupling of the carbonyl component is suppressed.
