Abstract
Reaction of primary or secondary alcohols with BrCCl3 and tetrahydrofuran, usually in the presence of 2,4,6-collidine, leads to the formation of 2-tetrahydrofuranyl ethers in good to excellent yield (56-92%). The reaction mechanism is believed to involve a free-radical chain reaction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
