Auto-Tandem Catalysis with Frustrated Lewis Pairs for Reductive Etherification of Aldehydes and Ketones

Herein we report that a single frustrated Lewis pair (FLP) catalyst can promote the reductive etherification of aldehydes and ketones. The reaction does not require an exogenous acid catalyst, but the combined action of FLP on H2, R-OH or H2O generates the required Br?nsted acid in a reversible, “turn on” manner. The method is not only a complementary metal-free reductive etherification, but also a niche procedure for ethers that would be either synthetically inconvenient or even intractable to access by alternative synthetic protocols.

A general method for the preparation of ethers using water-resistant solid lewis acids

(Chemical Equation Presented) This most ethereal of cascades: Water-resistant single isolated Lewis acids within the framework of molecular sieves act as excellent general catalysts for the synthesis of ethers (see scheme). On this basis, an environmentally friendly process has been developed for the preparation of fine chemicals that involves a one-pot Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction/etherification cascade.
