Resumen
In this work, we report an efficient and facile preparation of diphenylmethylethers (benzydryl ethers, DPM-ethers) from benzhydrol and alcohols or phenols. Wells-Dawson heteropolyacid (H6P2W 18O62.24H2O), bulk or supported on silica showed catalytic activity for DPM-ethers preparation in toluene, at 60-80°C, in 0.5-1.5h. In these conditions twelve diphenylmethylethers of alcohols and phenol were obtained which excellent yields (78-96%). The heterogeneous reaction conditions provided a very simple, environmentally friendly, clean, economical and selective protocol, for the preparation of unsymmetrical ethers. The catalyst is easily recycled and reused without loss of the catalytic activity. Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias y Forestales Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo en Ciencias Aplicadas
