Bc. Ranu et A. Hajra, Indium triiodide catalysed one-step conversion of tetrahydropyranyl ethersto acetates with high selectivity, J CHEM S P1, (4), 2001, pp. 355-357
A very simple and efficient method has been developed for the chemoselectiv
e one-step conversion of tetrahydropyranyl ethers of primary alcohols to th
e corresponding acetates through an indium triiodide catalysed transesterif
ication process in ethyl acetate.
