Abstract

A simple one-step route for the conversion of naphthols and phenols with tetrahydrofuran into corresponding 2-aryltetrahydrofurans using Amberlyst-15 as a catalyst is reported. This is the first example of the acid-mediated formation and rearrangement reactions of tetrahydrofuranyl ethers prepared from the tetrahydrofuran and aromatic/aliphatic hydroxy compounds.
