Abstract

An efficient and selective method for methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols with formaldehyde dimethyl acetal (FDMA) catalyzed by electron deficient tin (IV) tetraphenylporphyrinato trifluoromethanesulfonate,[SnIV (TPP)(OTf) 2], is reported. A variety of primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols as well as phenols were converted to their corresponding methoxymethyl ethers with FDMA in the presence of a high-valent tin (IV) ...
