experimental part, p. 272 - 273 (2012/05/20)
A simple, environmentally friendly, and efficient tetrahydrofuranylation of alcohols has been developed using NaHSO4SiO2 (0.5 mol%) as a catalyst under solvent-free conditions to yield corresponding THF ethers in good to excellent yi
Process for the preparation of 2-oxytetrahydrofurans

, (2008/06/13)
A two-phase process for preparing 2-oxytetrahydrofurans is disclosed. Aqueous 4-hydroxybutanal, which is readily available from a commercial hydroformylation process, is combined with an organic solution of a hydroxy compound in the presence of an acid catalyst to produce a 2-oxytetrahydrofuran. 2-Oxytetrahydrofurans are useful intermediates for pharmaceuticals or for the synthesis of 2,3-dihydrofuran.
