Abstract

A. Costa* and JM Riego Department of Chemistry. Universitat de les Illes Balears. E-07071-Palma de Mallorca. Spain. ... A convenient method for the preparation of cy- clic ethers by distillation of diols over solid A1P04- -A1 0 is presented. 2 3 ... Among the plethora of available methods to pre- pare cyclic ethers, the most general and important ones are those based on cyclization of 1,n-diols (n = 4 , 5 or 6)l). Generally, forcing conditions (temperatures
