Oligomerization of benzylic alcohols and its mechanism

A number of cyclic ( 5a-b) and linear ( 3a-c; 4b-c) oligomers arose from benzylic alcohols have been synthesized by treatment of 1a-c with a bentonitic earth. A mechanism for the formation of both cyclic and linear oligomers is proposed based on the isolation of the key intermediate; the ethers 2a-c...
