Abstract
The readily available 1-t-butoxyalkyl sulfones were converted by hydri de reduction into alkyl t-butyl ethers. Reductive coupling with sodium metal or amalgam in an aprotic solvent led to glycol bis-1,2-O-t-buty l ethers. Polyethers such as 18-crown-6 can be synthesized by this pro cedure.
