Microwave-mediated selective monotetrahydropyranylation of symmetrical diols catalyzed by iodine.
Selective protection of one hydroxyl group as its tetrahydropyranyl ether in 1,n-symmetrical diol is achieved by iodine-catalyzed reaction of the diol with dihydropyranyl ether under microwave irradiation.
