Abstract

Abstract A new synthesis of 1, 2-glycol monoethers has been achieved byutilizing decarbonylation of α-alkoxyacid chlorides mediated by samarium diiodide in the presence of ketones. This one-pot reaction works within a few minutes at room temperature. The structure of α-alkoxyacidchlorides (R 2, R 3) C (OR 1) COCl tolerates various substitution patterns (R 2= R 3= H; R 2= H; R 3= Me or R 2= R 3= Me).
