Methoxymethylation of a variety of alcohols was performed using formaldehyde dimethyl acetal in the presence of N,N,N′,N′ ‐tetrabromobenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide [TBBDA] and poly( N ‐bromo‐ N ‐ethylbenzene‐1,3‐disulfonamide) [PBBS] as catalysts at room temperature and solvent‐free conditions. The methoxymethyl ethers (MOM‐ethers) were obtained with good to excellent yields.
