Studies towards a phosphorus(V)-catalysed Mitsunobu reaction

A novel manifold has been developed, catalytic in phosphorus (V), that promotes the dehydration reaction of an alcohol to give the symmetrical ether product. This has been achieved through the development of a novel dioxyphosphorane catalyst that, in conjunction with a triflic acid cocatalyst, condu...
