Abstract
10 mol% Yb(OTf)(3) or FeCl3 have been developed as efficient reagents for t he conversion of alcohols into diphenylmethyl (DPM) ethers. Similarly. FeCl 3 has also been advantageously utilised to successfully convert ketals and acid sensitive ethers into DPM ethers. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All r ights reserved.
