Abstract

Different types of primary and secondary alcohols were efficiently transformed to their corresponding methoxymethyl (MOM) and ethoxymethyl (EOM) ethers in the presence of catalytic amounts of H3PW12O40 at room temperature under solvent-free conditions. Selective protection of primary and secondary alcohols in the presence of phenols and tertiary alcohols was achieved by this method. Deprotection of these ethers to their parent ...
