Abstract
An inexpensive, easily available, environmentally benign, and efficient catalyst molybdenum(VI) dioxo (acetylacetonate)2 was used for the direct oxo- and thioetherification of alcohol. This method endures selective molybdenum catalyzed dehydrative synthesis of symmetrical ethers from benzylic secondary alcohols as well as unsymmetrical ethers from the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols with primary alcohol. Furthermore, we have been also successful in the synthesis of Aryl thioether by using alcohol and thiols.
