Abstract
The tetrahydropyranylation of a variety of alcohols and phenols under solvent-free conditions is efficiently catalyzed by bismuth triflate. This relatively nontoxic catalyst is insensitive to air and small amounts of moisture. Bismuth triflate also catalyzes the deprotection of THP ethers.
