Boron Trifluoride⋅Diethyl Ether-Catalyzed Etherification of Alcohols: A Metal-Free Pathway to Diphenylmethyl Ethers

A novel boron trifluoride⋅diethyl ether (BF3⋅OEt2)‐catalyzed etherification procedure has been developed in which primary and secondary alcohols are easily converted into diphenylmethyl ethers with yields of up to 99%.
