Abstract
A simple, effective, and highly chemoselective method to form 2‐tetrahydropyranyl ethers of alcohols and phenols in the presence of silica‐gel‐supported aluminium chloride as a heterogeneous Lewis acid catalyst is described. The catalyst can be easily recovered and reused without appreciable change in its efficiency.
