title: Scope and mechanistic studies of electrophilic alkoxyetherification.
abstract: A one-pot electrophilic alkoxyetherification using an olefin, a cyclic ether, a carboxylic acid, and N-bromosuccinimide has been developed. The oxygen nucleophiles, the olefinic substrates, and the cyclic ether partners can be varied to produce a wide range of alkoxyether derivatives.
