Abstract
The combined use of dimethoxymethane with catalytic amounts of tin(II) bromide and bromomethyl methyl ether cleaves p-methoxybenzyl ethers to give methoxymethyl ethers in good yields. The chemoselective conversion of p-methoxybenzyl ethers in the presence of the benzyl ether function into methoxymethyl ethers has also occurred successfully.
