Ring-closing C–O/C–O metathesis of ethers with primary aliphatic alcohols

Transetherifications between ethers and alcohols are fundamental organic reactions that are frequently used for the preparations of unsymmetrical ethers. In this article, the authors challenge the fundamental tenets of the traditional transetherification mechanism via systematic experimental and com...

description Transetherifications between ethers and alcohols are fundamental organic reactions that are frequently used for the preparations of unsymmetrical ethers. In this article, the authors challenge the fundamental tenets of the traditional transetherification mechanism via systematic experimental and computational investigations of a Re2O7-mediated annulation.
