Environmentally Friendly Tetrahydrofuranylation of Alcohols Using NaHSO4-SiO2 under Solvent-free Conditions
A simple, environmentally friendly, and efficient tetrahydrofuranylation of alcohols has been developed using NaHSO4-SiO2 (0.5 mol %) as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions to yield corresponding THF ethers in good to excellent yields.
