Unsymmetrical ethers are obtained in excellent yields by the catalytic etherification of alcohols with ketones or aldehydes in the presence of Pd/C under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen when water produced by the reaction is continuously removed by bubbling hydrogen through the reaction mixture.
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.
