Abstract

Chloromethyl methyl ether (MOMCl) is an important protecting agent in organic synthesis. An efficient synthesis of chloromethyl methyl ether is reported and a one-pot hydroxyl protection procedure is developed. The method features mild condition, short reaction time, high yield and simple operation.
