Title A highly efficient and ecofriendly procedure for tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols in the presence of in-situ generated I2 under heterogeneous and neutral conditions
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Tetrahydropyranylation-Alcohols -Phenols- In-situ I2-Fe(NO3)39H2O/NaI
Abstract Molecular iodine generated in situ from Fe(NO3)3_9H2O/NaI acts as a highly efficient catalyst for tetrahydropyranylation of various alcohols and phenols with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran in almost quantitative yields. The reaction occurs rapidly in dichloromethane at room temperature, and use of toxic molecular iodine is avoided.
