Abstract
We report that a Lewis acidic silane, Me2SiHCl, can mediate the direct cross-coupling of a wide range of carbonyl compounds with alcohols to form dialkyl ethers. The reaction is operationally simple, tolerates a range of polar functional groups, can be utilized to make sterically hindered ethers, and is extendable to sulfur and nitrogen nucleophiles.

- 13 General procedure for the reductive etherification reaction: To a mixture of carbonyl (0.25 mmol) and alcohol (0.275 mmol, 1.1 equiv) in acetonitrile (0.5 mL) was added chlorodimethyl-silane (0.275 mmol, 1.1 equiv) under argon. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (ca. 25 °C) for 12 h. The reaction was then quenched by adding a drop of aqueous NaHCO3 solution under air. The resulting mixture was dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (pentane/DCM or pentane/MTBE).
