Abstract

Abstract The reductive homocoupling of a carbonyl compound and heterocoupling of a carbonyl compound with a non-protected alcohol were both effected smoothly at room temperature with triethylsilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of bismuth trichloride to afford the corresponding ethers in good yields.
