“…Tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols can be accomplished using p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA), 2 BF 3 ·OEt 2 3 and pyridinium ptoluenesulfonate (PPTS). 4 Recently, some developed reagents have been used for this purpose, such as ZrCl 4 , 5 I 2 , 6 LiBr, 7 acetonyltriphenylphosphonium bromide, 8 tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB), 9 aluminium chloride hexahydrate, 10 indium(III) trifluoromethanesulfonate (In(OTf) 3 ), 11 alkylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminates, 12 InCl 3 immobilized in ionic liquids, 13 polystyrene-bound tin(IV) porphyrin, 14 Dowex 50WX4-100, 15 pyridinium chloride, 16 SiO 2 ·p-TSA, 17 N,N'-bis [3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiourea and a polystyrene-bound analogue, 18 Al(OTf) 3 , 19 and bromodimethylsulphonium bromide. 20 The employment of protective groups is an important procedure in organic synthesis.…”
