Sulfonic acid-functionalized ordered nanoporous Na ? -montmorillonite, as a newly reported solid acid nanocatalyst, was efficiently used for the tetrahydropyranylation and detetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols. All reactions were performed at room temperature in high to excellent yields. Ease of preparation and handling of the catalyst, heterogeneous reaction conditions, easy work-up of the products, high reaction rates and reusability of the catalyst are the main advantages of this method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
