Abstract

Recently, we have reported the preparation of silica sulfuric acid I (Figure [1] ) as a stable acidic reagent (solid acid) and showed its catalytic activity in synthetic methodology. [10] In continuation of our studies in this regard, we have found that trimethylsilyl ethers can be converted to their corresponding ethers in the presence silica sulfuric acid I. Therefore, we decided to apply this reagent for ether synthesis. Here we wish to report the first example of direct conversion ...
