SnBr2-catalyzed highly selective synthesis of alkyl ethers from monoterpenes

An efficient and Brønsted acid-free route to synthesize monoterpene ethers was developed using SnBr2 as inexpensive and commercially affordable catalyst. This process consists of the synthesis of ${\alpha }$-terpinyl alkyl ethers in SnBr2-catalyzed reactions of ${\beta }$-pinene with alkyl alcohols....
