摘要

Rare earth metal trifluoromethanesulfonates [rare earth metal triflate, RE (OTf) 3] were found to be efficient catalyst for benzyl-etherification. In the presence of a catalytic amount of RE (OTf) 3, condensation of benzyl alcohols and aliphatic alcohols proceeded smoothly to afford the benzyl ethers. The condensation between benzyl alcohols and thiols also proceeded, and thio ethers were obtained in good yield. In these reactions, RE (OTf) 3 ...
