Ethers made easy : Heating a solution containing a tosylhydrazone and either a phenol or an alcohol in the presence of K 2 CO 3 leads to the corresponding ethers (see scheme; MW=microwave, Ts=tosyl). The reaction is fairly general for the preparation of aryl alkyl and alkyl alkyl ethers, and represents a new method for the reductive etherification of carbonyl compounds.
