Abstract

High-valent tin (IV) octabromotetraphenylporphyrinato trifluoromethanesulfonate,[SnIV (Br8TPP)(OTf) 2], was used for selective methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal (FDMA) at room temperature. Different primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols as well as phenols were converted to their corresponding methoxymethyl ethers with FMDA in the presence of an electron deficient tin (IV) porphyrin ...
