Recent Developments in Catalytic Reductive Etherifications

Ether derivatives are versatile organic compounds and have been applied in various fields of academia the chemical industry. Therefore, it is highly desirable to create procedures for their manufacture that more efficient sustainable. Catalytic reductive etherification with carbonyl moiety such as ketones/ aldehydes carboxylic acid has recently recognized a possible tool among several techniques reported ether production. These offer promising methods selectively produce ethers higher molecular structures, both symmetrical asymmetrical. This Review provides an update on current developments field catalytic etherification, which synthesize utilising alcohol aldehyde substrate. Applications synthesis catalyst design given special attention.
