Wells-Dawson tungsten heteropolyacid-catalyzed reactions of benzylic alcohols, influence of the structure of the substrate

Tarlani A, Riahi A, Abedini M, Amini MM, Muzart J

Heterolytic cleavage of the C-OH bond of various benzylic alcohols has been catalyzed with H6P2W18O62. Alkenes or symmetric ethers are produced, depending on the structure of the substrate. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
