5. Safety Information of Benzyl ether
Hazard Symbols:IrritantXi;DangerousN
Risk Codes:
R36/37/38:Irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. 
R51/53:Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Safety Description:
S23:Do not breathe vapour. 
S61:Avoid release to the environment. Refer to special instructions /safety data sheets.

6. Preparation of Benzyl ether
Benzyl ether can be prepared by benzaldehyde at the ambient temperature. This reaction will need reagents bismuth bromide, triethylsilane and solvent acetonitrile with the reaction time of 5 min. The yield is about 84%.

Benzene,1,1'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis- can be prepared by benzaldehyde at the ambient temperature

7. Use of Benzyl ether
Benzyl ether can be used to produce iodomethyl-benzene at the ambient temperature. It will need reagent boron triiodide-N,N-diethylaniline complex and solvent benzene with the reaction time of 2.5 hours. The yield is about 88%.

Benzene,1,1'-[oxybis(methylene)]bis- can be used to produce iodomethyl-benzene at the ambient temperature

8. Other details of Benzyl ether
When you are using Benzyl ether, please be cautious about it as the following:
Benzyl ether is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. It is toxic to aquatic organisms as it may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. You should not breathe gas/fumes/vapour/spray (appropriate wording to be specified by the manufacturer). You must avoid releasing it to the environment just refering to special instructions/safety data sheet.
