Electrochemical methoxymethylation of alcohols–a new, green and safe approach for the preparation of MOM ethers and other acetals
… A new, green, safe, cost-effective and highly efficient electrochemical approach for the
methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols was successfully developed. The methodology was
also applied to the synthesis of substituted acetals. … or the commercially available Electrasyn
2.0, we have developed a new, environmentally friendly, safe and cost-effective electrochemical
methoxymethylation methodology that does not rely on the use of the carcinogenic MOMCl.
The desired MOM ethers were obtained in high yields without requiring any purification, and …
